Can baby powder cause testicular cancer?

Yes, baby powder containing talc has been proven to be linked to some cases of testicular cancer. However, the link between talc and testicular cancer is not as strong as the link between talc and ovarian cancer. This could either indicate that it is not as strong of a causal agent for germ-cell cancers in men as in women, or it could indicate that women were exposed to more talc over the course of their lives than men were.
