Testicular Cancer

Testicular Cancer Treatment in Bhubaneswar

Testicular cancer is a proliferation of cells that begins in the testicles. The testicles (also known as testes) are located in the scrotum. The scrotum is a loose pouch of skin beneath the penis. 
The testicles generate both sperm and the hormone testosterone.

Testicular cancer is an uncommon kind of cancer. It can occur at any age but is most common between the ages of 15 and 45. A bulge or lump on a testicle is commonly the first sign of testicular cancer. Cancer cells can develop rapidly and frequently spread beyond the testicle to other areas of the body.

Testicular cancer is relatively curable, even if it spreads to other parts of the body. Treatment options vary depending on the type of testicular cancer and the extent to which it has spread. Surgery and Chemotherapy are common therapeutic options.
 

FAQ's

The symptoms of testicular cancer are:

  • A bulge or enlargement in either testicle
  • A dull pain in the lower abdomen or groin
  • Sudden swelling of the scrotum
  • Pain or discomfort in the testicles or scrotum
  • Enlargement or soreness of breast tissue
  • Backache
     

The cause of the majority of testicular cancers remains unknown. Testicular cancers are caused by DNA changes in testicle cells, which cause them to grow and multiply quickly. These changes can form tumours, which can eventually spread to other parts of the body, such as the lymph nodes, liver, and lungs. Metastatic testicular cancer is the most common form of testicular cancer. Most testicular cancers begin in germ cells, which produce sperm, but the cause of DNA changes in these cells remains unclear.
 

The chance of developing testicular cancer increases for males with:

  • Family history: If your father or brother had testicular cancer
  • Undescended testicles: This condition occurs when the testicles do not drop before birth. This is also known as cryptorchidism, and it occurs when a testicle does not properly drop from the abdomen into the scrotum before birth. Following this issue, the likelihood of a tumour growing increases. Surgery can repair the testis, but cancer can still occur.
  • GCNIS: These are abnormal cells in the testicle called germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS), which are often discovered during an infertility test. Microlithiasis, or minor calcifications in the testicle, does not increase the risk of developing testicular cancer.
  • Age factor: Testicular cancer can develop at any age. But it is most common in teenagers and young adults aged 15 to 45.
  • Infertility: Some of the same factors that cause infertility may also contribute to the development of testicular cancer.
