TESTICULAR CANCER:

7 HOPEFUL INSIGHTS

THE ROLE OF TESTICLES: HORMONES AND FERTILITY

Testicles produce testosterone and sperm. Located in the scrotum, they are central to fertility and hormone balance.

WHAT IS TESTICULAR CANCER?

SEMINOMA AND NONSEMINOMA

RISK FACTORS: GENETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL

SYMPTOMS: EARLY AND ADVANCED

Early: testicular lump/swelling, scrotal pain or heaviness. Advanced: abdominal/back pain, weight loss, shortness of breath.

LOOK AT THE BLOG

DIAGNOSIS: ULTRASOUND, TUMOR MARKERS, IMAGING

After exam, ultrasound and blood tumor markers are used; CT/MRI/PET-CT assess spread when needed.

STAGING AND SPREAD: 0–III

Stage 0–I local; II lymph nodes; III distant organs. Early detection lowers spread risk and strengthens prognosis.

SURGERY, RADIATION, CHEMOTHERAPY, IMMUNOTHERAPY

Radical inguinal orchiectomy is standard. Depending on type/stage, add radiation and/or chemotherapy; immunotherapy in select cases. Cure rates are high.
