What is Testicular Cancer? The Answer

Although it does not get much publicity, testicular cancer is the most common malignancy amoung men 15 to 45 years of age. Read more . . .

Doctor's don't know how to prevent the disease, but fortunately, it's now easy to detect, and cure. Thirty years ago, testicular cancer proved fatal to 90% of its victims. Today the cure rate is 90%, and that includes advanced cases.

To reduce the threat of testicular cancer, all men should examine their testicles on a monthly basis. Monthly self-exams should start at puberty and continue until age 50. Testicular cancer is rare among older men.

Testicular cancer is especially common in men who have had an undescended testicle (whether or not it was surgically corrected), and in men with a personal or family history of testicular cancer.

The best time to do a self-exam is while showering. Testicular cancer takes several forms.  Treatment must be tailored to the particular form, although all cases necessitate surgical removal of the testicle, along with the attached structures (epididymis) and cord (blood vessesls).
