Awareness important for early cancer detection, experts
By Elizabeth Perry
A.P. Beutel Health Center
Testicular cancer is one of the
most common forms of cancer for
men ages 20 to 44. Although
rare, testicular cancer is still a
threat to college-age men.
Fortunately, testicular cancer
is one of the most curable types of
cancer. In fact, men with the
most common type of testicular
cancer, seminoma, have a sur
vival rate of almost 100 percent
when the cancer is detected early.
Men with an undescended
testicle are most at risk for tes
ticular cancer.
In the male fetus, the testes
are formed near the kidneys,
and soon after birth, the testes
descend into the scrotum.
When a testicle fails to de
scend by age six, the likelihood
of testicular cancer increases
five times. A simple surgical
procedure can correct it.
The most effective way to pro
tect yourself is through early
detection. This includes know
ing the warning signs, having a
yearly examination by a doctor
and performing monthly testicu
lar self-exams.
The most common symptoms
consist of finding a hard lump
the size of a pea, painless
swelling and a feeling of heavi
ness in the groin area or scro
tum. If any of these symptoms
occur, it is important to consult
a physician as soon as possible.
The best way for males to de
tect cancer in the early stages
is by performing testicular
self-exams.
However, for the self-exams
to be most effective, they must
be performed at least once a
month so a male can become fa
miliar with how his testicles nor
mally feel so that if a change
does occur, he will notice the
change in the early stages.
TSEs should be performed
while taking a warm shower or
bath. Some easy ways to remem
ber include leaving a note in the
bathroom, in or near the shower,
to jar the memory as well as pick
ing a date for each month.
How to Perform a Testicular
Self Exam:
1. Perform the TSE in a
warm shower or bath.
2. Be aware that, in most
men, the left half of the scrotum
is lower than the right.
3. Holding the scrotum, take
one testicle and roll it between
the thumb and fingers, check
ing for a lump, an area of new
firmness or softness or a
slight enlargement.
4. Check the epididymis, the
comma-shaped organ extending
from the top of the testicle to be
hind it. Normally it is soft and
slightly tender when pressed.
5. Locate the spermatics
that comes up from thee
didymis; normally, it feelsl|
firm, movable, smooth tube
6. Repeat the examinato:
the other testicle.
7. If a change or Iue|
found, consult a physician.
If a testicular cancer is ill

mon form of treatment.
Cancer is usually confine:
