Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer occurs when cells in a testicle become
malignant
and grow into a
tumour
. Signs and symptoms can include a lump in either
testicle
, pain in the abdomen or groin, pain in the testicles or scrotum, a weighted feeling in the scrotum, a sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum, back pain and an enlargement or tenderness of the breasts. A physical exam, medical history and tests will diagnose testicular cancer. A
blood test
and an
ultrasound
can diagnose a tumour. A
radical inguinal orchiectomy
is the surgical procedure to remove a testicle for
biopsy
. Specialists who treat testicular cancer are
urologists
,
medical or radiation oncologists
and
surgeons
. Treatment can include
radiation
or
chemotherapy
