Tall men more likely to get testicular cancer

　　According to the British "Daily Mail" report on the 27th, "British cancer Magazine published a new study in the United States that found that tall people male , the risk of testicular cancer is greater. Scientists have found that based on an average height of 175 cm, for every 5 cm increase in height, the risk of testicular cancer will increase by 13%.
　　
　　Dr. Michael Bryce Cook of the National Cancer Institute in Maryland, the leader of the new study, said the new study shows a positive association between height and testicular cancer. However, its specific mechanism is currently unclear. Scientists say factors such as family history and inherited genetic defects are more important, accounting for about 20% of the risk of testicular cancer. Other factors include past medical history, race, cryptorchidism, and age.
　　
　　Cancer Research UK healthy Department of Information Director Sarah Blackom said testicular cancer accounts for 1% of male cancer cases. Tall men don’t need to panic because of the study’s results, as less than 4% of testicular lumps are testicular cancer. However, since testicular cancer is most common among men aged 25-34, once young men discover testicular abnormalities, they should seek medical treatment immediately to find out the truth.
