Testicular cancer and Trauma
Disease characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells within the testis, the reproductive organ that produces sperm. Although testicular cancer represents only 1 percent of all cancers, it is the most common malignancy for men between the ages of 20 and 34. It most often affects men between 15 and 39 years of age. In the United States, approximately 7,500 new cases are diagnosed each year. Testicular cancers are broadly classified as seminomas or nonseminomas based on their appearance and other characteristics. About 30 percent of testicular cancers are seminomas, and they tend to respond well to treatment. Nonseminomas, including yolk-sac tumours, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas, are generally less responsive to treatment than seminomas. Typically, more than one type of nonseminoma will be present within the same tumour.
