It is most occurring in male between the age of 15-25. Testicular cancer is cause by a cell that has split itself but not everything goes right. Most of the time the cell will kill itself if this happens but in the rare case, it does not. The abnormal cell then starts dividing itself uncontrollably. This bunch of bad cells obstruct the jobs of the other cells which is what cancer is. ]]> 2019-04-04 12:59:40 UTC https://padlet.com/josh2930/s7x7z1a02cqg/wish/348490321 josh2930 https://padlet.com/josh2930/s7x7z1a02cqg/wish/348494924 There are plenty of variables that can increase the chance of testicular cancer

Surgery - There a few types of surgery for testicular cancer. Two are listed
-In this case it is called radical inguinal orchiectomy. This is the surgery to remove one of the testicles infected with cancer. They make an opening right above the pubic area and take the testicle out of the opening.. they also take out the spermatic chord because that is how the cancer can spread through the body through blood.
-Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is a large incision made in the middle of the abdomen to remove lymph nodes

 2. Radiation Therapy - high energy rays or particles to remove or slow down growth process. In testicular cancer, this is usually used on the lymph nodes or a lower dose of radiation because these rays also damage the regular cells.

3. Chemotherapy - Is usually used if the cancer has spread from the testicles. u are given drugs through a pill or a needle in your veins. The drug kills cancer cells but at the price of many good cells as well.]]> 2019-04-04 21:27:56 UTC https://padlet.com/josh2930/s7x7z1a02cqg/wish/348734921 josh2930 https://padlet.com/josh2930/s7x7z1a02cqg/wish/349262735 The spots highlighted in yellow are tumors.
