Study: Pot May Lead To Testicular Cancer

Posted: Updated:

Young men who use marijuana may have a higher risk of testicular cancer.

Researchers compared the recreational drug use of 163 men who had that type of cancer with 292 healthy men of the same age, race and ethnicity.

All were between the ages of 18 and 35.

They found those who smoked pot had double the risk of testicular tumors.

The National Cancer Institute estimates more than 8,500 men will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in the U.S. this year.
