Men who have surgery to remove the tumour have fewer problems but even patients who have chemotherapy and radiotherapy, which can damage fertility, are able to have children. "After treatment with chemotherapy or radiotherapy the majority of men who want to father children can do so," says Dr Robert Huddart of the Institute of Cancer Research in London. Cases of testicular cancer have risen rapidly in recent decades. In some countries it is the most common cancer among young men. About 50,000 new cases are reported worldwide each year. Huddart and his colleagues studied 700 men with the condition and who had been treated between 1982 and 1992. They asked them to complete a questionnaire about their health and fertility, publishing the findings in the

SHPRC About SHPRC Sexual Beings Working Yesterday ... Testicular Cancer Testicular Cancer Men between the ages of 15 and 24 have the highest risk of developing testicular cancer. For this reason, it is especially important for men of college age and younger to examine their testicles monthly. Although breast self-exams are more widely publicized and encouraged, in a college age population, testicular self-exams are more likely to detect a life threatening cancer. Testicular Self Exam What to look for: Normal testicles are somewhat lumpy, so you should get to know what yours are like. Look for changes in consistency, hard lumps, or unexplained pain in your testicles. If you notice anything unusual, see your doctor. How it works: Testicular cancer has a 97% cure rate if it is caught in the early stages. It should be one of the easiest cancers to treat, but many men ignore the symptoms until the disease has progressed. A simple exam once a month is worth it to keep your testicles in good shape.

Medical Services Treatment of Testicular Cancer at Mayo Clinic in Rochester (Synonyms: cancer of the testicles) Many people are surprised to learn that testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American men between the ages of 15 and 35 although it can occur at any age. While testicular cancer is common among young men, this age group typically does not get a lot of cancer, so overall testicular cancer is a relatively rare disease. Yet the disease deserves serious attention. The American Cancer Society estimates about 7,500 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer each year in the United States. An estimated 400 men die of testicular cancer annually. When detected early, however, testicular cancer is highly treatable. This disease responds well to treatment, even if it has spread to other parts of the body. Adolescent boys and young men should be particularly aware of the signs and symptoms of the disease and do regular testicular self-exams. Treatment There has been remarkable progress in the treatment of testicular cancer. In 1970, 90 percent of testicular cancer patients with metastatic (spreading beyond the testicles) disease died of their cancer. Since 1990, because of the introduction of more effective chemotherapy drugs and because of a better understanding of the biology of this disease and the role of surgery in conjunction with chemotherapy drugs, nearly 90 percent of men with metastatic disease are successfully treated.

SYMPTOM: Frequent urination ENLARGED PROSTATE Frequent urination, especially when the man wakes up continually during the night to go to the bathroom, is a symptom of an enlarged prostate gland. The prostate is a gland that is located just below the bladder and surrounds the urethra, the tube that carries urine from the bladder to the outside. WHAT IS AN ENLARGED PROSTATE? The main function of the prostate is to secrete fluids that nurture the sperm that come out with ejaculation. Prostatic disorders include: prostate infection prostate enlargement prostate cancer WHAT IS A PROSTATE INFECTION? Prostate infections are relatively common and usually occur in men in their 30s, 40s, and 50s. Symptoms include frequency of urination, burning with urination, and a discharge from the penis. Additionally, one can have a sensation of fullness behind the scrotum and in front of the rectum. These symptoms occur because infection makes the prostate gland swell. The diagnosis is made by a rectal examination, urinalysis, and a check of the discharged fluid. The treatment involves antibiotics, soaking in a warm tub of water, and frequent ejaculation. (See not all medicine is bad, guys.) Sometimes men may take antibiotics for a long period of time without any true benefit. In fact, many of these conditions are not infections but simply muscle spasms involving the prostate and surrounding tissue. This is a condition called prostatosis or prostadynia. Treatment for this includes muscle relaxants and warm baths. Hytrin or Cardura, typically used for high blood pressure are also muscle relaxants and have been shown to be successful.

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.

"The vast majority of men, after testicular cancer treatment, can go on and have a family as normal," said Dr Robert Huddart of The Institute of Cancer Research in London. But he added that there is a portion of patients, regardless of what treatment they have had, who will have difficulty having children because the illness and low fertility are associated.

A growth of cancer cells may be called a tumor. If the cancer cells break away from the tumor and spread to other parts of the body, the tumor is called metastatic. Testicular cancer is a malignant (life-threatening) tumor that develops from cells in the testicle. With time, the growth of malignant cells in the testicle causes the testicle to enlarge or form a lump that can be seen or felt. Usually the lump is painless, at least at first. In metastatic testicular cancer the primary tumor has spread to other parts of the body, starting new tumors. The most common places for the new tumors (metastases) are the lungs, lymph nodes, and liver.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Testicular cancer Definition Testicular cancer is a cancerous growth occurring in the male gonads, or testes. The testes are located outside the body cavity, in the scrotum. Description Although testicular cancer is a rare type of cancer, it often grows very quickly. It is the most common type of cancer to occur in young males, with most cases occurring in men under the age of 30 years. Recent advances in treatment, however, have made testicular cancer very manageable and curable. Testicular cancer is more prevalent in males whose testes have not descended into the scrotum. There are several cell types present in the testes, any of which can be involved in cancer. The two basic subtypes of testicular cancer are the seminomas and the non-seminomas. Although the incidence of testicular cancer has been increasing for the past 40 years, its cause is unknown. Testicular cancer usually shows no early symptoms. It is suspected when a mass is felt in the testes, although a testicular mass does not necessarily mean cancer. It is important for men to perform periodic examinations of their testes in order to detect any mass at an early stage. In advanced cases, or metastatic testicular cancer, symptoms include lower back pain and discomfort, difficulty in urinating, a
