Testicular cancer is the second most common cancer in young men (aged 18 to 39) excluding non-melanoma skin cancer.

The most common type is seminoma, which usually occurs in men aged between 25 and 50 years. The other main type is non-seminoma, which is more common in younger men, usually in their 20s.

In 2016, 850 new cases of testicular cancer were diagnosed in Australia. For Australian men, the risk of being diagnosed with testicular cancer by age 85 is 1 in 202. The rate of men diagnosed with testicular cancer has grown by more than 50% over the past 30 years, however the reason for this is not known.

In 2018, there were 34 deaths from testicular cancer.

The five year survival rate for testicular cancer is 98%.
