What is Testicular Cancer ?

The testicles, situated within the scrotum, play a vital role in the male reproductive system by producing sperm for reproduction and releasing male sex hormones like testosterone. Testicular cancer, though rare, primarily arises in the germ cells—cells responsible for generating immature sperm.
