http://familial-testicular-cancer.cancer.gov/

Extractions: Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in young men ages 15 to 35. It accounts for about 1 percent of all cancer in men, with approximately 7,400 cases diagnosed in the United States every year. It is much more common in white males than in black males. The incidence of testicular cancer has risen over the last century, although the reason for this increase is not clear. Risk factors for testicular cancer include undescended testicle (cryptorchidism), a prior history of cancer in one testicle (the opposite testicle is at increased risk) and family history of testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is also sometimes linked to other rare conditions in which

Recently this disease got a lot of publicity as it struck pro cyclist Lance Armstrong and Olympic skater Scott Hamilton. It is the MOST COMMON cancer among men aged 15 to 35. While it is extremely treatable, the treatment is MUCH easier if it is detected early, and detection is EASY: you just perform a simple self exam every month. Yeah, it's embarrassing to talk about this, but guys have actually died simply because they were too embarrassed to get medical attention for something wrong "down there"............ More than ninety percent of patients present with a painless lump or mass in the testicle. Patients may also notice a sensation of heaviness in the scrotum or lower abdominal aching. Scrotal enlargement or swelling is also common in patients with testicular cancer.

Extractions: Testicular cancer is a disease in which cancer develops in one or both of a man's testicles. While rare, it is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 15 and 35. Each year, approximately 7,000 to 8,000 new cases of testicular cancer are diagnosed in the U.S., and approximately 400 men die. read more The vast majority of testicular tumors are discovered by men themselves, either by accident or by performing the self-examination procedure. In fact, one research report found that only 4% of all testicular tumors are discovered by physicians, usually when they are performing an exam for other reasons. As a result, regular self-examination is essential. read more

Potential Health Risks For DES Sons
Early studies on the link between testicular cancer and DES exposure Several studies found an increased risk of testicular cancer among DES Sons
http://www.cdc.gov/node.do/id/0900f3ec80007609

Extractions: Overview Potential Health Risks for Women Prescribed DES While Pregnant Potential Health Risks for DES Daugthers Potential Health Risks for DES Sons Potential Health Risks for Third Generation (Offspring of DES Daughters and Sons) Are DES Sons at an increased risk for cancer? Research established that DES Sons were at an increased risk of non-cancerous epididymal cysts, which are growths on the testicles (Bibbo, 1977; Gill, 1979; Wilcox, 1995). Research has not found that DES Sons are at an increased risk for any type of cancer (Strohsnitter et al., 2001). However, questions have been raised because laboratory animal studies demonstrated a relationship between DES exposure and an increased rate of a rare type of testicular cancer (rete testis) and prostate cancer (Newbold, 1985, 1987; McLaughlan, 1998). In addition, testicular cancer has been linked with exposure to abnormal levels of estrogen before birth (in the womb) (Panagiotopolou, 1990; Kappel, 1985; Rosing, 1984; Braun, 1995; Petridou, 1997), and testicular cancer is an increased health risk for men with undescended testicles - a condition shown by some studies to be associated with DES exposure (Moller, 1997). Early studies on the link between testicular cancer and DES exposure produced mixed results. Several studies found an increased risk of testicular cancer among DES Sons (Henderson, 1979; Depue, 1983; Moss, 1986; Schottenfeld, 1980), but two other studies found no relationship between DES exposure and an increased risk for testicular cancer (Brown, 1986; Gershman, 1988). The most recent study found an increased rate of testicular cancer among DES-exposed men compared with unexposed men. However, the increased rate was not statistically significant, which means the higher rate of testicular cancer among DES Sons could have resulted from chance rather than exposure to DES (Strohsnitter, 2001).

Extractions: One of this summer's hottest fashion accessories - a yellow "Live Strong" bracelet from the Lance Armstrong Foundation - has become one of the hardest to find. The cancer charity has sold 7 million of the $1 bracelets, which are rare in retail stores and are on back order at the foundation's web sit www.laf.org . The foundation began selling the rubber bracelets May 17 to support Armstrong, a (testicular) cancer survivor, who just won his sixth consecutive Tour de France bike race. The canary-yellow bracelet is the same color as the jersey awarded to the race leader in the Tour de France. People also wear the bands to support loved ones with cancer. Presidential candidate John Kerry, a cycling buff who survived prostate cancer, has been spotted wearing the bracelet. President Bush has one, too. Even Armstrong's chief rival, Italian Ivan Basso, wore one during the race to support his mother, who has pancreatic cancer. The campaign has raised $8 million, including $1 million from Nike.

In the United States, about 8,000 to 9,000 men are diagnosed with this disease each year. Over a lifetime, the chance of getting testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250 (4/10th of one percent). It is most common among males ages 15 through 40. Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers, in excess of 90%, and essentially 100% if it has not spread. Even for the relatively few cases where it has spread widely, chemotherapy offers at least a fifty percent chance of a cure. edit As testicular cancer is curable when detected early, experts recommend regular monthly testicular self-examination after a hot shower when the scrotum is looser. Men should examine each testicle first feeling for lumps then, compare them together to see if one is bigger than the other.

There are two broad types: seminoma and nonseminoma histologies. The nonseminoma group of cancers includes embryonal carcinoma, teratoma, yolk sac carcinoma and choriocarcinoma. The two testicles (or testis) produce sperm and male hormones. Men who have an undescended testicle (a testicle that didn't move down into the scrotum) are at higher risk of developing testicular cancer.

Drug Library Drug Information Drug Search Drug Interactions Image Database Pill Identifier Causes, incidence, and risk factors: 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.

Extractions: site map home Testicular cancer is the most common cancer amongst young men between the ages of 20 and 35, although it can develop in boys as young as 15. Currently about 2000 men a year develop the disease in the UK. The incidence of testicular cancer has risen dramatically over the last 20 years . The causes of the increase are unknown. Men with one or more undescended testes have a greatly increased risk - 10% of testicular cancer patients have a history of this condition. Testicular cancer can have a strong genetic component. First degree relatives (brothers, fathers or sons) of testicular cancer patients have up to a 10-fold increased risk of developing this disease. Scientists at The Institute of Cancer Research co-ordinate an international team of researchers which aims to identify genes implicated in susceptibility to testicular cancer. Studies by this group have initially highlighted a region on the X chromosome that may contain a testicular cancer gene, but the actual gene has yet to be identified and there are likely to be several testicular cancer genes to identify. Scientists do not know what percentage of cases are caused by an inherited genetic susceptibility, but some estimates put the figure at as high as 30% of all cases.
