Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that develops in one of the male reproductive organs, the testicles, and is particularly common among young men. It most often occurs in men aged 15–35 and responds very well to treatment. With early diagnosis, it is almost completely curable. Healme Clinic offers reliable healthcare services with modern technology and expert staff in the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up of testicular cancer.
The testicles are a pair of organs located inside the scrotum, a pouch-like structure in males. In addition to producing sperm, they secrete the hormone testosterone, which plays a vital role in the development and maintenance of male sexual characteristics. Malignant tumors can develop as a result of cellular mutations in the testicles.
Testicular tumors usually originate from germ cells (reproductive cells). These tumors are divided into two main groups:
