1) Who treats testicular cancer? Testicular cancer is combinely treated by an urologist and an oncologist 2) Is testicular cancer very common? Testicular cancers make up for 1-2% of all the cancers in men. Of late, the frequency of occurrence has been on the rise. 3) Does testicular cancer follow a hereditary pattern? Yes testicular cancer seems to follow a familial pattern in some cases. If your father had the disease, the chances of you getting the cancer is 3-4 times more than a person with no family history. 4) Does diet play a role in developing the cancer? No study thus far indicates that diet plays a role in the development of testicular cancer. 5) How does a person self examine for testicular cancer? Men in the age group of 25-45 years must periodically check their testicles after a warm water bath. On examining a testicle if they find a lump they must check the other testicle too. If the lump is found in both the testicles then there may be no cause to worry. But if the lump is located in one testicle alone, it is better to consult a doctor. |

Posted on: 03/18/2010 A testicular tumour is caused by cells dividing uncontrollably. They can sometimes spread to other parts of your body through the bloodstream or lymph system.Testicular cancer can spread to the lymph nodes , for example in your abdomen , or form tumours in the lungs or other organs. The spread of cancer is called metastasis. |
