Do Men Survive?

Do men die from testicular cancer?

Your chance of surviving testicular cancer is very good.

About 7,400 men in the United States get this cancer each year. Research estimates that the cure rate of testicular cancer is more than 90% for both early and late stage cancers. Let me give you two examples. We have one group of 100 men with early detection and another group of 100 men with late detection. Looking at each group five years later, 95 of the men with early detection are still alive. Of the group of men with late detection, 75 are still alive. Because it is easy for men to find testicular cancer early, 60% of men who get testicular cancer find it in its early stages.
