Most Curable Form of Cancer
February 1st, 2007 Jan Posted in Cancer | Comments Off
Testicular cancer has a survival rate of 99% when detected early. So why is it estimated that nearly 400 men going to die of testicular cancer this year?
It’s about denial. No man wants to believe that anything could be wrong with “the twins”. Once denial is overcome (because of the pain or prompting from a partner), men tend to be shy about making an appointment to get checked, let alone showing up for the appointment!
Facts:
- When there is lymph node involvement, there is a 70% survival rate.
- When detected early (repeat early) testicular cancer has a 99% survival rate.
- Of all diagnosed cases, there is a 96% survival rate.
- Age group risk is 16-39 year old men.
Symptoms:
- Added weight in your scrotum
- Weird lump on your testicle
- A strange swelling of your testicle
- A change of the hardness of your testicle
- An ache in your lower abdomen, testicle or scrotum
Some risk factors that contribute getting testicular cancer include age, family history, having an undescended testicle, race (whites have a higher incident of testicular cancer), and having gonadal dysgenesis or Klinefelter’s syndrome.
Early detection is easy with a regular self-exam.
