Appointment The testicles (also called testes or gonads) are the male sex glands located below the penis in a pouch of skin called the scrotum. Testicles produce and store sperm, and are the body's main source of male hormones that control the development of the reproductive organs and other male characteristics. Cancer that develops in a testicle is called testicular cancer. When testicular cancer spreads, the cancer cells are carried by blood or by lymph, an almost colorless fluid produced by tissues all over the body. The fluid passes through lymph nodes, which filter out bacteria and other abnormal substances such as cancer cells. Surgeons often remove the lymph nodes deep in the abdomen to learn whether testicular cancer cells have spread. The testicles are smooth, oval-shaped, and rather firm. Men who examine themselves regularly become familiar with the way their testicles normally feel. Any changes in the way they feel from month to month should be reported to a doctor.

Testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men aged 15-35. The risk of developing testicular cancer in a man's lifetime is approximately 1 in 500. It occurs most commonly between the ages of 15 and 40, although it can occur at any age. Caucasian men are more likely to get testicular cancer than Hispanics, Blacks or Asians. Testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases. Types of Testicular Cancer: In 95% of cases, testicular cancer originates in the germ cells - the sperm producing cells within the testicles. These Germ Cell Tumours (GCTs) are most common in men between 20 and 40. There are two main types of tumours: seminoma and nonseminoma.

The discovery - which reveals that the rogue gene is inherited from the mother - is the result of a 10-year international drive to uncover the secrets of a form of cancer which is becoming increasingly common. This should allow the disease to be detected earlier, and be treated successfully with less aggressive chemotherapy Dr Doug Easton, The Cancer Research Campaign Three UK cancer charities have collaborated on the project: the Cancer Research Campaign, the Imperial Cancer Research Fund and the Institute of Cancer Research. The researchers have discovered that the vital gene is located on a small part of the X chromosome, which is inherited from the mother. This means that they are just one step away from identifying the gene itself.

Only Swedish men have enjoyed such a dramatic improvement in their fortunes. However men in eastern Europe are not faring so well, an international study published in the Lancet has found. Death rates in that region are dropping - but at a far slower rate. Testicular cancer is a classic example of a cancer that is generally curable when the right treatment is given Professor Peter Boyle, Imperial Cancer Research Fund In the UK, between 1975 and 1979, there were on average 276 deaths a year from testicular cancer, while between 1995 and 1997 there were on average 96 deaths a year - a fall of 72%. In 1998 there were 1,380 cases and 86 deaths. However, death rates in the UK are still higher than those in the USA and Japan, where the latest treatments became available earlier.

For Patients What Men Should Know About Testicular Cancer Peer Review Status: Internally Reviewed by Cancer Center Staff First Published: 1988 Last Revised: July 2002 Rates and Statistics It is estimated there are 7,500 new cases of testicular cancer each year. The incidence of testicular cancer among white males has nearly doubled in the last forty years. Testicular cancer is 4.5 times more common among white males than blacks. Overall, about three American men in 1,000 develop testicular cancer at some time in their lives. It can occur in men at any age and is the most common cancer in men between 15 and 35 years old. The stage of the disease at the time of detection and treatment is an important predictor of prognosis. If testicular cancer is treated before it has spread to the lymph nodes, the cure rate is greater than 98%. This high degree of successful treatment demonstrates the importance of early detection practices such as testicular self-examination (TSE). Risk Factors The causes of testicular cancer are not well understood. Congenital abnormalities, hormonal drugs, certain diseases such as mumps or a viral infection, and heredity have been suggested as factors that could increase a man's risk of developing testicular cancer. Men who have an undescended or partially descended testicle are known to be at higher risk.

MSN Broadband The American Cancer Society estimated that more than 7,500 men will be diagnosed this year with testicular cancer and about 400 will die from it. SCIENTISTS AT Duke University found that a gene, called hiwi, was up to 16 times more active in men with testicular cancer than in healthy patients. Finding the gene, the first to be directly associated with testicular cancer, could allow researchers to watch for the disease and genetically reprogram misbehaved cells, stunting the growth of a cancer tumor. The American Cancer Society estimated that more than 7,500 men will be diagnosed this year with testicular cancer and about 400 will die from it. Testicular cancer is the most common form for white men between the ages of 15 and 45, the agency said.

Currently, about 1500 men a year (around 1 in 400) develop the disease in the UK. Unfortunately, the number of UK cases has trebled in the past 25 years and is still rising. Signs to watch out for include: a lump in one testicle. pain and tenderness in either testicle. discharge or pus from the penis. blood in the sperm at ejaculation. a build-up of fluid inside the scrotum.

Guide to Clinical Preventive Services, Second Edition Neoplastic Diseases Screening for Testicular Cancer RECOMMENDATION There is insufficient evidence to recommend for or against routine screening of asymptomatic men in the general population for testicular cancer by physician examination or patient self-examination. Recommendations to discuss screening options with selected high-risk patients may be made on other grounds (see Clinical Intervention). Burden of Suffering Testicular cancer is a relatively uncommon disease, with an overall annual incidence of about 4/100,000 men.1 It is, however, the most common form of cancer in young men between ages 20 and 35,2 accounting for an estimated 7,100 new cases and 370 deaths in the U.S. in 1995.3 The peak annual incidence ranges from 8 to 14/100,000 men between 20 and 35 years of age, with a smaller peak in early childhood.4 The incidence in black men is less than one fifth that of white men.4 The major predisposing risk factor is cryptorchidism.1 In men with a history of cryptorchidism, 80-85% of testicular tumors occur in the cryptorchid testicle, while 15-20% occur in the contralateral testicle. Other risk factors include previous cancer in the other testicle, a history of mumps orchitis, inguinal hernia, or hydrocele in childhood, and high socioeconomic status.1 Ninety-six percent of testicular cancers are of germ cell origin, of which seminoma is the most common type. Prognosis and treatment depend on the cell type and stage of disease; however, recent advances in treatment have resulted in a 92% overall 5-year survival.3 Even among the small proportion of patients (12%) with advanced disease at diagnosis, 5-year survival is close to 70%.4

T ESTICLE C ANCER The testicles control male development in the youth, and generate sperm after puberty. Furthermore, they continue to produce testosterone, the essential male hormone, throughout life. Testicular cancer is most common in early adulthood, and usually first gets noticed as a lump in the scrotum. In fact, men are advised to check their testicles monthly for any new lumps or bumps, and show them promptly to a doctor if discovered. What Do the Testicles Do? The testicles are the paired organs of male fertility suspended in the loose scrotal sac. The testicles provide the hormonal signals for maleness , and begin to generate sperm after puberty. A hormone which are male hormones. The best known androgen is testosterone . Male hormones are even produced in the womb (by other glandular tissue); they signal the to activate and develop the penis and testicles. Androgens circulate in the bloodstream to all of the other tissues of the body, to tell them about the male sex. Thus, in the growing male the breasts stay small, the voice deepens, facial hair becomes coarse, the upper torso enlarges, and the red blood cell count is higher. The testicles are best known for producing sperm, the male seed

Purposes of this summary Testicular Cancer Screening ... About PDQ Overview of Screening What is screening? Screening for cancer is examination (or testing) of people for early signs of a certain type of cancer even though they have no symptoms. Scientists have studied patterns of cancer in the population to learn which people are more likely to get certain types of cancer. They have also studied what things around us and what things we do in our lives may cause cancer. This information helps doctors recommend who should be screened for certain types of cancer, what types of screening tests people should have, and how often these tests should be done. Not all screening tests are helpful, and most have risks such as bleeding, infection, or pain of the testicle or groin due to a biopsy for an abnormal screening test. For this reason, scientists at the National Cancer Institute are studying many screening tests to find out how useful they are. If your doctor suggests certain cancer screening tests as part of your health care plan, this does not mean he or she thinks you have cancer. Screening tests are done when you have no symptoms. Since decisions about screening can be difficult, you may want to discuss them with your doctor and ask questions about the potential benefits and risks of screening tests and whether they have been proven to decrease the risk of dying from cancer.
