As one patient put it after hearing his treatment options for a stage I testicular tumor, "If you're gonna have cancer, this is about as easy a road as you get." With recognition of the importance of orchiectomy, development of the nerve-sparing lymph node dissection procedure, and availability of modern chemotherapy regimens, testicular cancer has become one of the most curable neoplasms. In this article, two oncologists discuss types of testicular tumor, patient evaluation, disease staging, risk categorization, and treatment selection. A patient handout on self-examination follows. ... Read more

From the author: Testicular cancer (TC) strikes men between the ages of 15 and 35. If detected early, this disease can be irradicated in virtually every patient. Unfortunately, several hundred men will die from this disease each year. Research has shown that men do not know the importance of testicular self-examination, and they are not knowledgeable about TC. Nurses should be able to discuss treatment modalities, side-effect management related to those treatments, and special issues dealing with sexuality, body image perception, and infertility.

From the author: Testicular cancer can be a devastating diagnosis for the patient and family. The nurse must be knowledgeable about testicular cancer in order to perform detailed assessments and appropriate interventions, and prevent complications. The nurse also should educate the patient and family about long-term side effects from the treatments and the importance of lifelong follow-up care. In particular, appropriate education and support along the cancer and survivor continuum are important.

Description:
This paper compares the portrayal of breast, testicular and prostate cancer in mass print English language magazines in the United States and Canada from 1996 to 2001. It is a follow-up of three papers that examined each of these three diseases separately in high circulating magazines up to 1995. It includes both quantitative and qualitative analyses of magazine stories and notes the continuing dominance of a medical perspective regarding disease as well as the association of each type of cancer examined with stereotypically individualized yet feminine and masculine characteristics and pursuits. It notes the conflation of breast cancer, since the discovery of BRCA1 and BRCA2, with the family. To be a 'feminine' woman is to be vulnerable to breast cancer and to be a 'masculine' man is to be vulnerable to testicular cancer when young and prostate cancer when older. The association of disease not just with personhood but also with the specifics of stereotyped masculinity and femininity may construct a more intimate, more personal link between disease and identity. This close attachment of gender and disease may shore up and exacerbate a fear reaction. It may also serve to diminish the awareness of other, more prevalent, causes of death for men and women. The social control consequences of potentially exacerbated disease-specific fear are discussed. ... Read more

Excerpt: Patrick Lee Trammell (July 11, 1940 December 10, 1968) was an All-American quarterback for the University of Alabama from 1958 until 1961. In his senior year, he led the Crimson Tide to a perfect season of 11-0-0 and Alabama subsequently won the NCAA National Championship for 1961. On December 10, 1968, he died from metastatic testicular cancer at age 28, shortly after earning his M.D. degree. Pat Trammell was born in Scottsboro, Alabama, and played high school football at Scottsboro High School where he earned All-County, All-State, All-Southern and All-American honors during his four year prep career. He was also named most valuable basketball player in state of Alabama as a high school senior. His football career at Alabama began just prior to Paul "Bear" Bryant's announcement that he planned to return to his alma mater to take over as head coach of the ailing football program. Trammell's family recalls a personal visit at the time and an embellished 'pep talk' from Coach Bryant saying that, "if you'll commit to Alabama, then I'll come back to Alabama." Trammell had actually planned to attend Georgia Tech, after being heavily recruited by head coach Bobby Dodd but at this point, made a career altering decision that would change the rest of his life. Bryant's influence would once again bring the program into the national spotlight and Trammell was his first star player. As a sophomore, in 1959, Trammell led Alabama in total offense and then led in total scoring in the 1960 season, including a win against the Fran Tarkenton-led Georgia Bulldogs. Coach Bryant had promised the team in 1958 that they would win a national championship within four years, as told by team-mates Billy Neighbors, Bill Oliver and Mal Moore.

Testicular cancer usually occurs in young or middle-aged men. Two main types of testicular cancer are seminomas (cancers that grow slowly and are sensitive to radiation therapy) and nonseminomas (different cell types that grow more quickly than seminomas). Coverage includes treatment, including surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy, immunotherapy, and vaccine therapy.For patients, practical information is provided in clearly written patient education documents. For medical professionals, doctor references and texts have detailed technical information and clinical background material.

From the author: This study compared high school health teachers' beliefs concerning teaching about testicular cancer (TC) and testicular self-examination (TSE) to actual instruction. The Teachers' Testicular Cancer Beliefs Survey was developed, using the Health Belief Model (HBM) as a theoretical framework. Multiple regression analysis of HBM subscales determined perceived seriousness of TC was the most signif cant predictor (p [is less than] .05) of TC instruction. Perceived barriers to teaching about TSE was the most significant predictor (p [is less than] to] .05) of TSE instruction. Male health educators were more likely (p [is less than] .001) than females to teach about TC and TSE. Teachers having previous preparation in TC and TSE provided more instruction (p [is less than] .001) than those without. Less than half of respondents provided TC instruction, while TSE instruction was provided by less than one-third Comprehensive cancer prevention and early detection education, including strategies for teaching about TC and TSE, should be part of each health teacher's training.

Description:
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in men aged 15-34. Although post-treatment prognosis is generally very good, the impact on sexuality, gender identity and fertility is amplified in this age group. A Canadian study of men with testicular cancer explores how men (re)consider questions of sexuality and gender post diagnosis and treatment. Semi-structured interviews with 40 men were analyzed using thematic decomposition, an analytic technique that combines discursive approaches with thematic analysis. The theoretical framework that guides this work relies on material discursive approaches. From an analytic stance, this perspective is concerned with a focus on the ways in which both subjectivity and the body are experienced and constituted in language. In particular, we are concerned with how these men interpret the (altered) male body as a locus of gender signification and gender disruption. Men in this study construct testicular cancer as alternately inhibiting and enhancing masculinity and sexuality. Disruption interpolates with potentiality. A discourse of precarious masculinity predominates these accounts, wherein the link between anatomy and masculinity is simultaneously asserted and disavowed. Constructions of anatomical essentialism (i.e., testicular integrity is equated with masculinity) are juxtaposed against construals of anatomical superfluousness (i.e., other sites of sexuality and male identity are emphasized as being more central). ...

Product Description
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Testicular cancer is cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system. In the United States, between 7,500 and 8,000 diagnoses of testicular cancer are made each year. Over his lifetime, a man's risk of testicular cancer is roughly 1 in 250 (0.4%). It is most common among males aged 15-40 years, particularly those in their mid-twenties. Testicular cancer has one of the highest cure rates of all cancers: in excess of 90 percent; essentially 100 percent if it has not metastasized. Even for the relatively few cases in which malignant cancer has spread widely, chemotherapy offers a cure rate of at least 85 percent today. Not all lumps on the testicles are tumors, and not all tumors are malignant; there are many other conditions such as testicular microlithiasis, epididymal cysts, appendix testis (hydatid of Morgagni), and so on which may be painful but are non-cancerous. ...
