What is Testicular Cancer?
Testicular cancer forms when malignant cells develop in the tissues of one or (less commonly) both testicles. The testicles are two walnut-shaped sex glands that produce sperm and the hormone testosterone.
Like any cancer, testicular cancer is a serious condition. Fortunately, it is one of the most treatable and curable forms of cancer when detected early.
Types of Testicular Cancer
About 90% of all testicular cancers arise from germ cells in the testicles. These are mainly classified as:
Seminoma
Slow-growing cancer that primarily affects men in their 40s and 50s.
Non-seminoma
Grows more rapidly than seminomas. Mainly affects men in their late teens, 20s and early 30s.
Non-seminoma subtypes include:
- Embryonal carcinoma
- Yolk sac carcinoma
- Choriocarcinoma
- Teratoma
Note: Some tumors contain both seminoma and non-seminoma cells.
Symptoms of Testicular Cancer
The most common sign of testicular cancer is a painless lump in the testicle.
Other symptoms may include:
- Swelling or sudden fluid build-up in the scrotum
- A lump or swelling in either testicle
- A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
- Dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen
- Pain or discomfort in the scrotum or testicle
- A shrinking testicle (testicular atrophy)
These symptoms can also occur with other conditions. However, any change should be evaluated promptly by a specialist, as early diagnosis significantly improves treatment outcomes.
Risk Factors for Testicular Cancer
How is Testicular Cancer Diagnosed?
Physical Examination
Examination of the testicles and lymph nodes
Scrotal Ultrasound
Creates detailed images of the testicular tissue
Blood Tests & Biopsy
Tumor markers and tissue confirmation
Surgical Treatment for Testicular Cancer
Surgery is the primary treatment for testicular cancer, regardless of stage or tumor type. As an experienced testicular cancer surgeon in Delhi, Dr. Shafiq Ahmed performs:
Radical Inguinal Orchidectomy
Removal of the affected testicle through a groin incision. Standard treatment for both seminoma and non-seminoma.
Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND)
Removal of lymph nodes behind the abdominal organs, more commonly required in non-seminoma cases.
Prevention & Self-Examination
Testicular cancer cannot be completely prevented, but monthly self-examination helps detect changes early.
