1. Testicular Cancer: Survival High With Early Treatment
   Overview information from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.  
   http://www.fda.gov/fdac/features/196_test.html
   
   Extractions: Survival High with Early Treatment by John Henkel Glenn Knies wasn't thinking the worst when he felt the abnormality in his groin area 11 years ago. It was probably a hernia, he guessed. He had just finished working out. In the shower, he noticed his right testicle seemed enlarged. "I thought I had strained something," says Knies, an insurance adjuster in Schwenksville, Pa. He was 23 and barely out of college at the time. "I wasn't having any discomfort or symptoms to speak of," he says. "I was strong as ever, and there was nothing else to indicate a problem." He mentioned the condition to his mother, a nurse, who urged him to see a urologist quickly. She suspected something more serious than a hernia was bothering her son. His doctor determined the enlargement was cancer, and he removed Knies' right testicle, the standard first-line treatment for testicular tumors. Later, after tests showed that cancer may have spread to the lymph nodes deep within the abdomen where the testicles drain, doctors also removed the nodes. But the lymph nodes were "clean," free of cancer, Knies says. It was the first sign that he probably was going to be OK, that his doctor likely had gotten all the cancer after removing the testicle. To make sure, a regimen of regular examinations followedmonthly at first, tapering off to annually after five years. Eleven years later, he still has a yearly exam but considers himself a cancer survivor.

   Extractions: Overview Testicular cancer develops in the testicles (testes), the male reproductive glands. The testicles are located in the membranous pouch below the penis (scrotum) and are suspended from the body by the spermatic cord. They produce male reproductive cells (sperm) and testosterone. Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases. Anatomy

With cancer, this process goes wrong and cells can divide and grow in an uncontrolled way, causing a lump on or within the part of the body affected. If this tumour contains cells that are able to invade neighbouring tissues or organs, it is known as malignant. If the tumour does not do this, it is termed benign. Cancer of the testicles is not a common cancer overall, and is responsible for less than one per cent of all cancer deaths. However, it is the most common cancer in men aged 20 to 34. It is important for men to be aware of the disease so that they can recognise the symptoms. If caught early, testicular cancer can usually be treated and cured.

   Extractions: Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer among males age 15 to 44. After motor vehicle accidents and suicide, cancer is the leading cause of death in this age group, followed by homicide, heart disease, and HIV. Testicular cancer is known as the young man's cancer. Early detection is the key to survival. Testicular cancer has a very fast onset since the tumors can be very aggressive. When the cancer is confined to the testicles, there is often no pain. By the time pain develops, it is often a sign that the cancer has already spread. Survival rates increase significantly if treatment has begun before the cancer has a chance to metastasize. Upon reaching puberty, all men should conduct testicular self-exams at least monthly and preferably every time they shower. The purpose of a testicular self-exam is to familiarize yourself with the size, shape and texture of your testicles. If you notice any change, especially a lump, it is imperative that you see your doctor immediately. Diagnosis is non-invasive, and involves using ultrasound to look at the density, size and shape of the testicles and other masses in the scrotum.

   Journal article from the American Family Physician.

   Extractions: AAFP Home Page Journals Vol. 59/No. 9 (May 1, 1999) A patient information handout on testicular cancer, written by the author of this article, is provided on page 2549. T esticular cancer accounts for only about 1 percent of all cancers in males. It is, however, the most common tumor in males between 15 and 34 years of age. About 7,600 cases were expected in the United States in 1998, or about 4.2 cases per 100,000 males. Incidence rates vary across the globe, with higher rates in Scandinavia and Germany and lower rates in Asia and Africa. The incidence of testicular cancer in the United States has almost doubled since the 1930s and continues to climb, while more effective treatments have led to a decline in mortality (Figure 1 The survival rate in 1963 was 63 percent ; the five-year survival rate now exceeds 95 percent.

   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

Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Although the exact cause of testicular cancer has not been identified, several predisposing factors seem to increase risk. These include a past medical history of undescended testicle(s), abnormal testicular development, Klinefelter's syndrome (a sex chromosome disorder that may be characterized by low levels of male hormones, sterility, breast enlargement, and small testes), or previous testicular cancer. Other factors are under investigation as possible causes, such as exposure to certain chemicals and infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). A family history of testicular cancer may increase risk. There is no link between vasectomy (an operation to cause sterility) and elevated risk of testicular cancer.
