What All Men Need
To Know About Testicular Cancer
Author: John R. Davis

Whatever your reason for wanting to learn more about testicular
cancer, there are many different places you can go to get the
information you desire. The most obvious place would be the
library, as there have been countless books published on the
subject. Over the course of a man's lifetime, he has a 1 in 250
chance of being diagnosed with the condition. This makes
testicular cancer one of the more common types of cancer.
Fortunately for those who have already been diagnosed, there is
a 90 percent survival rate overall associated with testicular
cancer. If a guy catches it in the earliest stage, it is
estimated that the survival rate is around 95 percent.

Still, just because fewer people die from testicular cancer
doesn't mean it should be taken lightly. If you know anything
about testicular cancer, you know that it doesn't discriminate.
No matter how healthy you think you are, it can still wreak
havoc on your body. Take, for example, Lance Armstrong. He was
arguably one of the world's best athletes, definitely in shape
and taking care of himself, when his world got rocked by a
testicular cancer diagnosis. While he battled his way through
it, testicular cancer almost killed him. Another popular example
is Canadian comedian Tom Green, who lost a testicle to the
cancer and made a documentary about his experience.

While testicular cancer affects more Caucasian men than any
other race, people of all ethnic backgrounds should know as much
about testicular cancer as possible. You are most likely to be
diagnosed when you're between the ages of 15-40, but it is also
found in infants and men over 60. It's very important to know
the symptoms of testicular cancer, so you're aware of what is
normal and what you need to see your doctor to discuss. When you
know a lot about testicular cancer, you can safeguard yourself
from having it develop into something that can't be controlled.
