This study reviewed...

Introduction
Testicular cancer is the most frequent malignancy in young men in industrialized countries with an increasing incidence, and its aetiology remains largely unknown. An association with occupational exposure to heavy metals (HMs) and welding fumes (WFs) has been suggested in the literature but with inconsistent findings, most likely due to methodological exposure assessment...

In addition, several occupational exposures are known to increase the...
