What is Testicular Cancer?

Testicular tumours are the most common tumours in males between the ages of 20 and 40 and the incidence appears to be increasing, but with early detection and new improved treatments the chances of a recovery are high. The survival rate is 95%.

The causes of testicular cancer are not fully understood. The main risk factor appears to be having an undescended testicle. It also is known to run in families; men with a brother or father with testicular cancer have a higher risk of developing it.

A third of all testicular cancers present following trivial trauma. It is not the trauma that causes the cancer; rather the trauma brings a pre-existing abnormality to the attention of the patient.

Testicular Cancer Negligence

Early diagnosis of testicular cancer is crucial, however this doesn't always happen. The most common form of negligence regarding testicular cancer is a GP wrongly dismissing a patient's symptoms and failing to refer them to a specialist to examine the lump.
