Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in American men between the ages of 15 and 40. But often denial and embarrassment contribute to testicular cancer being one of the least-mentioned and un-diagnosed cancers.
Yet the disease deserves serious attention. The American Cancer Society estimates that about 7,600 men receive a diagnosis of testicular cancer each year in the United States. An estimated 400 men die of testicular cancer annually.
When diagnosed early, testicular cancer can be very treatable. Regular testicular self-examinations can help identify dangerous growths early, when the chance for successful treatment is highest.
Penile cancer is a relatively rare cancer in the United States. It occurs when cancerous cells are found in the tissues of the penis. A doctor should be seen if you experience growths or sores on the penis, any unusual liquid coming from the penis (abnormal discharge), or bleeding. Many tests may be done to test for Penile cancer such as a biopsy. The chance of recovery and treatment depend on the stage of cancer and the patient’s general health
