A member asked:
Can a 21 year old healthy male get cancer? not specified, i mean in general any kind of cancer really. or is it rare?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Rare but yes....: I suppose a notable one at that age is testicular cancer. You should be checking yourself every month. Cancer at any age is not as common as most types of illness but can happen at any age from birth up until advanced old age.
