Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow in one or both testes.
It is most common in younger men aged 15–40 years. Early detection significantly improves survival. Symptoms may include a lump, swelling, heaviness in the scrotum, or mild pain. Treatment typically involves surgery (orchiectomy), and depending on stage, chemotherapy or radiotherapy may be needed.
Causes and Risk Factors of Testicular Cancer
Several factors can contribute to testicular cancer risk.
- Cryptorchidism: Undescended testes increase risk if not corrected in childhood
- Family history: having close relatives with testicular cancer
- Age and gender: Most common in men 15–40 years old
Symptoms and Clinical Presentation
Early detection relies on recognizing subtle signs.
- Painless lump or swelling in one testicle
- Heaviness or discomfort in scrotum or lower abdomen
- Occasional mild pain or tenderness: May occur in some cases
Treatment Options for Testicular Cancer
Treatment aims for complete removal and prevention of spread.
- Surgical removal (orchiectomy): Primary treatment for localized tumors
- Chemotherapy for higher-stage or metastatic disease
- Radiotherapy: Sometimes used for seminomas
