The testicles are male reproductive organs present in the scrotum. Testicular cancer is not uncommon and can be seen in men in their twenties, thirties or forties usually. Daily self examination is encouraged and any change in feel or size needs to be reviewed by a Urologist.

Types of Testicular Cancer
Microscopically there are two variants broadly on histology:
Seminoma
Found usually in males in thirties or forties
Nonseminoma
Usually develops early men in their twenties and thirties
Treatment Approach
Early detection and treatment is keystone for a successful outcome. A multidisciplinary approach would be required to manage these patients who may need surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy. Sperm storage pre treatment would be recommended.
