A Predisposing Factor for Testicular Cancer Is

Question

A predisposing factor for testicular cancer is:
A) Increasing age.
B) Cryptorchidism.
C) Hypospadias.
D) BPH.

Accepted Answer

Cryptorchidism, or undescended testicle(s), is a significant risk factor for the development of testicular cancer. Men with a history of cryptorchidism have an increased risk of developing testicular cancer, even if the undescended testicle has been surgically corrected. Increasing age, hypospadias, and BPH are not known to be predisposing factors for testicular cancer.
