Testicular and penile cancer

The testicles are the two oval-shaped male sex organs that sit inside the scrotum at the base of the penis. The testicles are an important part of the male reproductive system because they produce sperm and the hormone testosterone, which plays a major role in male sexual development.

Cancer of the testes is one of the less common cancers and tends to mostly affect men aged between 15 and 49 years.
