Let's discuss in brief about Testicular Cancer or cancer of the testis. We have two testis, that is the men. Just as women have ovaries, men have two testes right testis and the left testis. So cancer can affect the testis and usually these cancers are seen in young men, even though they are seen in older men also. Like in most cancers there are no initial symptoms of testicular cancer. There could be some swelling of the testis with the enlargement of size of the cancer and usually these cancers are painless. That's why to detect testicular cancer early it is essential that men perform testicular self-examination on a regular basis. So for example every Sunday when you are having a bath, just palpate the testes to see if there is any change that you feel. For example there could be nodules in the testis there could be enlargement of one testis as compared to the other or there could be irregularity of the testis. In such cases please consult a urologist who will do further tests to confirm whether there is a cancer or whether they are just variations of the normal . Once you go to the doctor apart from physical examination you will also ask you to undergo ultrasound of the testis. These help in diagnosing testicular cancer and giving more information about the testis. Along with some specialized blood tests a Testicular Cancer can be diagnosed based on ultrasound and blood tests. For further evaluation of Testicular Cancer a CT scan of the abdomen and sometimes a chest is also done. Luckily many of the Testicular Cancers are curable. Infact Testicular Cancer is one of the best cancers to get as far as treatment and curability is concerned. Early testis cancers are treated by a removal of the testis and those who are Advanced are treated by removal of the testis as well as some surgery to the abdomen to remove the lymph nodes and radiotherapy and chemotherapy. There are many types of Testicular Cancers and which combination is used to treat these cancers depends on the type of cancer the stage of cancer and that is determined by the doctor who sees these cancers. So what I want to emphasize is regular testicular self-examination in men. Just as women are advised to do self-examination of the breast, men also should do self-examination of the testis to detect Testicular Cancers early.
