Farmers may have a higher incidence for the development of testicular cancer than white-collar workers.
Rationale: The development of testicular cancer is associated to exposure to insecticides. The work activities of a farmer will promote a greater exposure to these chemicals than to someone performing office-related duties. The highest rate for the development of testicular cancer is in men of Scandinavian descent. Testicular cancer is highest in men ages 20 to 39. The mortality rate is just under 5%.
