Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that originates in the testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. It is relatively rare but is the most common cancer in young men aged 15 to 35. Risk factors include undescended testicles, family history, and certain genetic conditions. Symptoms of testicular cancer can include a lump or swelling in the testicle, a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, and pain or discomfort in the testicle or scrotum. Early detection is critical, and regular self-examinations can help identify abnormalities. Treatment options for testicular cancer typically involve surgery to remove the affected testicle (orchiectomy), and may also include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, and surveillance. The prognosis for testicular cancer is generally excellent, especially when detected early, with high survival rates and effective treatment options available.
