Testicular cancer

Abstract

Testicular cancer is a condition that, although it can be alarming, carries high cure rates if it is detected early and treated appropriately. This type of cancer mainly affects young men, but it is important to highlight that early diagnosis and timely treatment can make a big difference in the prognosis of the disease. Regular testicular self-examination is essential for early detection of possible abnormalities. Often, an unusual lump in one of the testicles, persistent pain in the area, or present alterations in the shape and size of the gonads can be warning signs of the presence of cancer. That is why education about the importance of knowing and monitoring one's own reproductive health is essential in the fight against this disease.
