Answer:
D) being involved in contact sports
Explanation:
Testicular cancer is characterized by abnormal cell growth in this organ. It usually affects men between 15 and 45 years old. This type of tumor, which is also known as a germ cell tumor, accounts for 5% of all lesions affecting the male population worldwide. The disease may show rapid growth and metastasis may occur in the lung, liver and bones.
Without definite cause, some factors that can increase the likelihood of developing testicular cancer are:
- Men who are between 15 and 45 years old.
- Men who did not have one or two testicles descended from the abdominal cavity to the scrotum during fetal development
- Chronic trauma to the scrotum can also cause the disease.
- Family history with people who had the disease.
- Rare syndromes like Klinefelter's syndrome.
Contact sports are not a risk factor for testicular cancer.
