The good news is that it tends to be highly curable. It's more curable when found early (90% cure rate), but even if it's found late the cure rate is good (70% cure rate). Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers, but the earlier it's found the less invasive the treatment usually. Most testicular cancers are initially found by the patient himself, so doing a

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.

Not too long ago, testicular cancer was considered a difficult and dangerous type of tumor. Advances in treatment mean that most men diagnosed with testicular cancer, especially those diagnosed when the cancer is at an early, treatable stage, can now expect to survive the disease. In this section you can find information about our expertise in treating men with testicular cancer, our services, and our research.

This is done, in part, because anticancer drugs are not readily taken in by the testes. Because of the risk of spreading the cancer through contact with the loose skin of the scrotum, the surgery is usually done through an opening made in the groin where the thigh meets the torso. Since only 2 percent of men with testicular cancer will experience a new tumor in the other testicle, the remaining testicle is usually left intact. Post-surgical treatment depends partly on whether the cancer has spread beyond the testicle. It can also depend on what type the tumor is. Testicular tumors are either pure seminoma or non-seminomatous. Seminomas, which occur when germ cells, the cells that divide to produce sperm cells, become cancerous at a very early stage in their development, are the most common type of testicular tumor, accounting for 50 percent of cases. The rest are different types of non-seminomatous tumors and mixtures of tumor types. Twenty to 25 percent are embryonal carcinomas, which can arise in more mature germ cells. Another 25 to 30 percent are teratoma carcinomas, which contain different kinds of tissue, often types not normally found in the testes. These other types of tissue are present because the malignant germ cells begin to "differentiate" or develop into various types of body tissue for example cartilage, nerve, or muscle which normally does not happen until after the mature sperm cell combines with a woman's egg cell. As they develop, these prematurely differentiated cells can sometimes become malignant. About one percent of testicular cancers are choriocarcinomas, a particularly malignant type of germ cell tumor which shares some characteristics with placenta, the blood-filtering tissue that normally forms in the uteruses of pregnant women.

References Most testicular tumors are malignant and of germ-cell origin. They constitute only 1% of cancers in males overall but are the most common malignant neoplasm in men aged 15 to 35 years. Testicular cancers frequently present at an early stage, are very sensitive to chemotherapy, and are variably sensitive to radiotherapy. These tumors are highly curable, and the success in treating testicular cancer has turned the focus of many studies to reducing toxicity in selected good-prognosis patients and identifying poor-prognosis patients who require more aggressive treatment. In this section, we review the epidemiology, etiology, pathology, diagnosis, and treatment of testicular cancers. Epidemiology and Etiology In 1995, an estimated 7,100 new cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed in the United States, with an associated 370 deaths. This represents an incidence of 2.1 cases per 100,000 males [1,2]. Testicular cancer is most common in white males, who have an incidence more than four times that of black males [3,4]. The risk is highest in northern Europe. For example, in Denmark, the incidence is reported to be 6.3 per 100,000 males [5].

Testicular cancer Description Stage Explanation Treatment Option Overview Stage I Testicular Cancer ... Overview Of PDQ CancerMail from the National Cancer Institute Information from PDQ for Patients DESCRIPTION What is cancer of the testicle? 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.

Groups of cells form the tissues and organs of the body and each of these, such as brain, liver, kidneys and lungs, has a very particular function. Normally cells reproduce themselves by dividing in a regular orderly fashion so that growth and repair of the body tissues can take place. Disease can disrupt this normal function in various ways. Sometimes there is an uncontrolled growth of cells causing a swelling or a tumour. Benign tumours remain contained within a limited area and once treated, often by an operation, don't usually cause any further problems.

Low tar cigarettes exposed Testicular cancer 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 44 year old age group, where it is the most common cancer. Overall, testicular cancer is not very common. Each year, there are nearly 2,000 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:
