Testicular Cancer Treatments: The Inguinal Orchiectomy So, you've been diagnosed with testicular cancer...and if that's not bad enough, they want to cut your testicle off, and they want to do it NOW ! Hopefully, this article will explain what they are going to do and why they are going to do it. First of all, if you've got a testicular tumor, you need this operation. We're sure you are thinking things like: Can't they do some more tests? How do they know it's really cancer? Why aren't they doing a biopsy Can't they just remove the tumor and leave the rest of the testicle alone? Well, these are all very good questions, and we'll try to answer them as best as we can. Can't they do more tests? - Most Urologists are going to suspect cancer simply by feeling the afflicted testicle; however, there are other tests they will do to verify the diagnosis. They may try things like transillumination (shine a very bright light through the testicle) in order to rule out a benign cyst , but it is more likely, though, that they will order an ultrasound . The ultrasound is very good at detecting testicular tumors. In time, other tests will be necessary, but if the ultrasound indicates a tumor, then it is most likely that the testicle has to come out.

29. The Causes Of Testicular Cancer : CancerBACUP Information on the causes of cancer of the testes. http://www.cancerbacup.org.uk/Cancertype/Testes/Causesdiagnosis/Causes

@import "/stylesheet-site.css"; Search The causes of testicular cancer It is not known exactly what causes testicular cancer. Although it is still quite rare, the number of men who develop it has been steadily increasing for the past few years. The reason for this is not known, but research is going on all the time into possible causes. Testicular cancer is more common in men who have a testicle that has failed to descend. In the unborn child the testicles develop inside the abdomen between the kidneys and descend into the scrotum at birth or during the first year of life. If the testicles do not descend this increases the risk of testicular cancer. Men with a brother or father who has had testicular cancer are slightly more at risk of developing it (although the risk is still small). Research has shown that a particular gene is the cause of testicular cancer in some men. It is possible that this gene is inherited and may be the reason why testicular cancer sometimes occurs in brothers or sons of men who have had the disease. Testicular cancer is more common in white men than African or Asian men. It occurs more commonly in wealthier social groups. The reasons for this are not known.

38. Screening For Testicular Cancer Information from the U.S. National Cancer Institute aimed at the professional level. http://cancerweb.ncl.ac.uk/cancernet/304729.html

Screening for testicular cancer Summary Of Evidence Significance Evidence Of Benefit CancerMail from the National Cancer Institute This information is intended mainly for use by doctors and other health care professionals. If you have questions about this topic, you can ask your doctor, or call the Cancer Information Service at 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237). Information from PDQ for Health Professionals SUMMARY OF EVIDENCE Note: A separate PDQ summary on Testicular Cancer Treatment is also available. There is insufficient evidence to establish that screening would result in a decrease in mortality from testicular cancer. Level of Evidence: 5 Opinions of respected authorities based on clinical experience, descriptive studies, or reports of expert committees SIGNIFICANCE Incidence and Mortality It is projected that 7,200 new cases of testicular cancer will be diagnosed and 400 men will die of the disease in the United States in 2001.[1] Testicular cancer accounts for only 1% of all cancers in men. Despite a slow increase in observed incidence, there has been a dramatic decrease in the mortality as a result of new treatments. Risk Factors Unlike most other cancers, this disease is generally found in young men.[2] In white men, it is the most common cancer between 20 and 34 years of age, the second most common from 35 to 39 years of age, and the third most common from 15 to 19 years of age. This type of cancer is 4.5 times more common among white men than black men,[3] with intermediate incidence rates for Hispanics, American Indians, and Asians. High-risk groups exist. Males with cryptorchidism have 3 to 17 times the average risk. There is also an increased risk in males with gonadal dysgenesis and Klinefelter's syndrome.[4] Men with a family history of testicular cancer may be at a higher risk of this disease.[5] A history of testicular cancer is associated with a higher risk of a contralateral tumor.[6]

About PDQ General Information About Testicular Cancer Testicular cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of one or both testicles. The testicles are 2 egg-shaped glands located inside the scrotum (a sac of loose skin that lies directly below the penis ). The testicles are held within the scrotum by the spermatic cord, which also contains the vas deferens and vessels and nerves of the testicles. The testicles are the male sex glands and produce testosterone and sperm Germ cells within the testicles produce immature sperm that travel through a network of tubules (tiny tubes) and larger tubes into the epididymis (a long coiled tube next to the testicles) where the sperm mature and are stored. Almost all testicular cancers start in the germ cells. The two main types of testicular germ cell tumors are seminomas and nonseminomas . These 2 types grow and spread differently and are treated differently. Nonseminomas tend to grow and spread more quickly than seminomas. Seminomas are more sensitive to radiation . A testicular tumor that contains both seminoma and nonseminoma cells is treated as a nonseminoma.

More Information General Information Note: A separate PDQ summary on Screening for Testicular Cancer is also available. Note: Estimated new cases and deaths from testicular cancer in the United States in 2005: [ New cases: 8,010. Deaths: 390. 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.
