Testicular cancer has a very good cure rate if it's found early and treated. Your doctor can check your testicles during an exam. A self-exam is another way to find testicular cancer (see below for self-exam directions). If you find anything wrong during a self-exam (like a lump or a swelling), see your doctor right away.

    Extractions: About PDQ Cancer of the testicle (also called the testis), a rare kind of cancer in men, is a disease in which cancer (malignant) cells are found in the tissues of one or both testicles. Sperm (the male germ cells that can join with a female egg to develop into a baby) and male hormones are made in the testicles. There are two testicles located inside of the scrotum (a sac of loose skin that lies directly under the penis). The testicles are similar to the ovaries in women (the small sacs that hold the female egg cells). Cancer of the testicle is the most common cancer in men 15 to 35 years old. Men who have an undescended testicle (a testicle that has never moved down into the scrotum) are at higher risk of developing cancer of the testicle than other men whose testicles have moved down into the scrotum. This is true even if surgery has been done to place the testicle in the appropriate place in the scrotum. A doctor should be seen if there is any swelling in the scrotum. The doctor will examine the testicles and feel for any lumps. If the scrotum doesn't feel normal, the doctor may need to do an ultrasound examination, which uses sound waves to make a picture of the inside of the testes. The doctor may need to cut out the testicle and look at it under a microscope to see if there are any cancer cells. It is very important that this be done correctly.

    Extractions: Changes to this Summary (02/20/2003) Note: A separate PDQ summary on Screening for Testicular Cancer is also available. Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.) Testicular cancer is a highly treatable, often curable cancer that usually develops in young and middle-aged men. Testicular cancer is broadly divided into seminoma and nonseminoma types for treatment planning because seminomas are more sensitive to radiation therapy. For patients with seminoma (all stages combined), the cure rate exceeds 90%. For patients with low-stage disease, the cure rate approaches 100%. [ Tumors which have a mixture of seminoma and nonseminoma components should be managed as nonseminoma. Nonseminoma includes embryonal carcinoma, teratoma, yolk sac carcinoma and choriocarcinoma, and various combinations of these cell types. Tumors that appear to have a seminoma histology but that have elevated serum levels of alpha fetoprotein (AFP) should be treated as nonseminomas. Elevation of the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) alone is found in approximately 10% of patients with pure seminoma.

    Extractions: For Testicular Cancer and Related Conditions Adenomatoid Tumor - A very rare, benign tumor of the epididymis . On ultrasound it appears as a well defined, hyperechoic mass separate from the testicle. Adjuvant therapy - A treatment given in addition to the main treatment (for example, chemotherapy as well as surgery) to try to prevent a cancer from coming back, even though there is no indication that the cancer is still there. AFP - see Alpha-fetoprotein Alopecia - The loss of hair. It is a side-effect of most forms of chemotherapy or radiotherapy used to treat cancer. In the treatment of testicular cancer, the chemotherapy usually causes hairloss about 2 weeks after the start of chemotherapy. During radiation treatments, the patient may lose hair in the area being radiated. It is usually temporary. Alpha-fetoprotein - AFP is a protein found in the bloodstream of some men with nonseminomatous testicular cancer (It is NEVER present in seminoma patients). The level rises when the cancer is growing and falls when the cancer is shrinking or has been surgically removed, so a blood test can possibly measure the progress of the disease and success of treatment. Because of this behavior, it is referred to as a tumor marker . Elevated levels of AFP occur in 75 per cent of patients with teratocarcinoma embryonal cell carcinoma , and yolk sac carcinoma . (However, increased levels of AFP are also found in patients with liver diseases, such as cirrhosis, acute and chronic hepatitis and hepatic necrosis. ) The serum

    Extractions: Hello, and welcome to our site. This site was inspired by fiancé and myself after a recent bout with Testicular Cancer. We hope this site helps you find out everything you need help on, as well as provide you with support. If you need additional resources, please visit our links page. It all happened quickly - it came, and it went. Life does go on, and…for me in particular, life is better than before! This is due to the lesson you learn about life. This valuable lesson is, "Life is precious, so live each and every day to the fullest!" I am in my mid 20's - never had any medical problems. When I noticed something was wrong, my fiancé immediately took me to ER. What my initial symptoms were was; kind of a "ache" pain and a larger/hardened testicle. An ultrasound proved that it was a "mass" - but not only that, they found another mass on the OTHER testicle. Needless to say, an Orchiectomy was in store for me. The right testicle was removed in October - pathology reports showed that it was a mixed germ cell tumor (70% Seminomatous and 30% Yolk-Sac Tumor) with no apparent invasion outside of the testicle. Tumor markers were 258 before the surgery, and 2 weeks after dropped to 50. This meant, because my

    Extractions: (U-WIRE) ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. Because of denial and embarrassment, many men are reluctant to talk about testicular cancer, let alone seek evaluation and care for lumps they find. This is unfortunate, as the cure rate for this cancer is excellent, with a five-year overall survival rate of 92 percent. This article will explore some facts and myths about the disease. Testicular cancer is rare, with an incidence of about four in 100,000 men. It is most commonly seen in young men between the ages of 15 and 35. And it usually manifests as a painless lump or a sense of heaviness in the scrotum. It is five times as common in white men as in black men. The major predisposing factor is an undescended testicle that was not surgically corrected in early childhood. Other risk factors include previous cancer in the other testicle, a history of mumps that affected the testicles, inguinal hernia and high socioeconomic status.

    Extractions: Editorial changes made: 05/13/2002 What is testicular cancer? Testicular cancer is a disease in which cells become malignant (cancerous) in one or both testicles The testicles (also called testes or gonads ) are a pair of male sex glands . They produce and store sperm, and are also the body's main source of male hormones . These hormones control the development of the reproductive organs and male characteristics. The testicles are located under the penis in a sac-like pouch called the scrotum Testicular cancer can be broadly classified into two types: seminoma and nonseminoma . Seminomas make up about 30 percent of all testicular cancers. Nonseminomas are a group of cancers that include choriocarcinoma, embryonal carcinoma , teratoma, and yolk sac tumors . A testicular cancer may have a combination of both types. An estimated 7,400 men in the United States will be diagnosed with testicular cancer in 1999. Although testicular cancer accounts for only 1 percent of all cancers in men, it is the most common form of cancer in young men between the ages of 15 and 35. Any man can get testicular cancer, but it is more common in white men than in black men. What are the risk factors for testicular cancer?

    Extractions: Overview Testicular cancer develops in the testicles (testes), the male reproductive glands. The testicles are located in the scrotum (membranous pouch below the penis) and are suspended from the body by the spermatic cord. They produce sperm (male reproductive cells) and testosterone. Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases. Anatomy The testicles are primarily made up of a mass of seminiferous tubules in which sperm develop. The tubules are lined with Sertoli cells, which protect and supply nutrients to developing sperm. Sertoli cells also secrete the hormone inhibin, which is involved in the regulation of sperm production. Leydig cells, located in tissue between the seminiferous tubules, secrete testosterone and androsterone. These hormones stimulate the development of male sex organs, beard growth, muscle mass, and deepening of the voice.

    Extractions: If you or a friend or relative have been diagnosed with cancer, you will find much more detailed information on our patient information site, CancerHelp UK Summary Testicular cancer primarily affects young men in the 15 to 49 year old age group, where it is the most common cancer. Overall, testicular cancer is not very common. Each year, there are over 1600 new cases in the UK. Testicular cancer responds particularly well to treatment, and over 9 in 10 patients are cured. The cancer develops from the cells within the testes. The testes are the two small oval-shaped organs on either side of the penis that produce and store sperm. They also provide the main source of the hormone testosterone, which is responsible for male sexual characteristics. If the cancer is not treated, cancer cells from the original site may break away and spread to nearby lymph nodes or, rarely, other organs. Risk factors There is no evidence that an injury or a sporting strain increases the risk of developing testicular cancer. Risk factors include: Age

    Extractions: There are very few physical sensations that match the thunderous pain and awesome power of a swift kick to the testes. Everything seems to go in slow motion as you double over in agony… and then the gut-wrenching throb sets in. If you've ever discovered a new pothole with your ten-speed, you know exactly what we're talking about: Pain with a capital "YEOUCH!" Since the testes are among the most sensitive (and enjoyable) parts of a man's body, it should hardly be surprising that few men are inclined to do a little exploring "down under." Sadly, most men are not aware of the high incidence of testicular cancer and other troubles that originate in the scrotal sac - dangers that are much easier to cure if caught early on. To do so, all men should learn how to perform a proper
