Dear Mr Rajiv, Undescended testis, the higher it is in the abdomen, the higher are the chances of cancer in it. So if you have an Undescended testis, you need to get evaluated. If everything is normal, you can be on regular follow-up. Getting surgery done now won't reduce your risk but will make it easier to evaluate the testis on a regular basis
