Testicular Cancer

Testicular cancer is an abnormal cell growth that originates in one of the testicles, the male glands housed in the scrotum.

Common symptoms: It is usually noticed as a lump or increase in size in a testicle, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, or a dull discomfort in the lower part of the abdomen or the groin.

Who can present it: It affects above all young men and adults, and regular self-examination helps notice changes in time.

Which specialist treats it? In its management, the radiation oncologist and the radiation therapist take part, along with the urologist in the initial evaluation. Detecting a lump or a change in the testicle is reason enough to go for a professional review.
