A member asked:

Which cancer/disease can be diagnosed to a 18 year old boy?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Several possible: Lymphoma and testicular cancer would be more common than others. If you name another tissue, cancer may affect it in some kid in the teen years. As far as diseases there are too many to list in 400 characters.
