It's frightening to find a lump in the testicles during a self-examination. Fortunately, if a lump does turn out to be testicular cancer, the prognosis is usually good, as it is considered very treatable and curable if caught early. Testicular cancer is a tumour that forms in the testicle - it's a fairly rare tumour, but it is the most common tumour in men between the ages of 20 and 40, Testicular cancer can spread to other organs, making it important to detect the disease early. HealthChoicesFirst has a wide selection of testicular cancer videos and articles and local oncologist and physician listings to help you.

The testicles are located inside the scrotum, the sac of skin under the penis, and are made up of a number of different cells. Testicular cancer starts in the cells of one or both of the testicles, which are also called gonads or testes. Testicular cancer is classified as either a seminoma, or a nonseminoma. Both forms of testicular cancer develop in the sperm-producing germ cells of the testicle, but a seminoma is the slower-growing form of testicular cancer than a nonseminoma. It's important for men to perform regular testicular self-exams in addition to seeing their family physician.

Testicular Cancer Risk Factors

Testicular cancer risk factors include having an undescended testicle, family history of the disease, and race. Pain in the testicle is not a often a symptom of testis cancer, with the most common symptom being swelling or a small, painless lump in the testicle. The treatment for testicular cancer depends on the type of tumour and the stage of the tumour. It may include surgical removal of the testicle and surrounding lymph nodes in addition to radiation or chemotherapy.
