Testicular Cancer
Who are the people predisposed to have Testicular Cancer?
Hi. I am doing research for a project on Testicular Cancer. I am wondering, is there a group of people that are predisposed to have this Type Of Cancer? I am talking about workers in some domains or environments perhaps, or types of athletes, sportsmen, etc. (such as cyclists or as such – see Lance Armstrong)
If you could please answer or guide me to a specific website or something.
Thank you in advance,
K.
