I realized right after posting that the above may be wrong. Testicular
cancer is the most common solid cancer (as opposed to hematologic
cancer) in men under age 35, but I don't know whether it is the most
common cause of cancer death in men that age. I don't have time to look
up the statistics right now.... In any case, it is not a common cause of
death in young men.
