What is Testicular Cancer? Testicular cancer might not be the most commonly discussed cancer, but it's certainly worth understanding. Testicular cancer begins when cells in the testicles start to grow uncontrollably forming a tumor. The testicles, or testes, are the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum. These oval-shaped organs produce testosterone (the primary male hormone) and sperm cells for reproduction. When healthy cells in the testicle undergo genetic changes, they can begin to multiply rapidly and form a mass or tumor. Most testicular cancers develop in the germ cells, which are the cells that produce sperm. These cancers are called germ cell tumors and account for about 95% of all testicular cancers. The remaining 5% include stromal tumors, which develop in the supportive tissues of the testicle, and other rare types. Unlike many other cancers that typically affect older adults, testicular cancer primarily affects young and middle-aged men, with peak occurrence between ages 20 and 34. ⌛ Timestamps: 🤔 What is Testicular Cancer - 00:00 📍 Types of Testicular Cancer – 01:14 ⚠️ Symptoms of Testicular Cancer – 02:02 📝 Causes of Testicular Cancer – 04:07 🩺 Diagnosis of Testicular Cancer – 05:56 💊 Treatment of Testicular Cancer – 07:42 #TesticularCancer #MensHealth #CancerAwareness #TesticularCancerSymptoms #CancerPrevention #SelfExam #HealthTips #Oncology #EarlyDetection #StayHealthy
