Does wearing tight underwear cause testicular cancer?

No: Wearing tight underwear is not a risk factor for testicular cancer. A pssible risk factor for testicualr cancer is an undescended testicle present at birth but clothing is not a risk factor for the future development of testicle cancer.

No.: Nor prostate cancer. Wearing boxers, briefs or going "commando" does not seem to have any influence on developing male cancers.
