Testicle pain symptom of cancer?

My husband has been having sharp, sudden, acute pain in his left testicle which sometimes extends into the inside of his left thigh. Naturally, I cannot convince him to see a doctor, but I am concerned that he should be screened for testicular or prostate cancer. We have been told that prostate problems run in his family, but he is only 29 years old and in very good health otherwise. The pain was just occasional when it first began (6 months ago or more) but is becoming more regular. He describes the pain as a recurring, shooting pain that can continue up to 15 minutes at times. It does not seem to follow any particular physical activity, and he seems to have no other symptoms or problems with urination or swelling. Should he be screened for cancer?
