what are some ways to know and prevent testicular cancer
Answers:
There are no ways to prevent testicular cancer, but there are ways to detect it early. Contrary to what is written above, testicular cancer is not a slow growing cancer and to the best of my knowledge a psa (prostate specific antigenor) test or a digital rectal exam has never been a way to detect testicular cancer (I believe she is thinking of prostate cancer). Symptoms can be a lump in one testis or a hardening of one of the testicles, pain and tenderness in the testicles, a dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin and an increase, or significant decrease, in the size of one testicle. Testicular cancer is an aggressive and wide spreading cancer, but caught early and the cure rate is well over 90%.
