Testicular Canceraffects the testicles, the organ responsible for synthesizing sperm and testosterone in men. When compared to other cancers, testicular cancer is a rare incidence. However, it is the most common form of cancer affecting men, especially between the age of 15 to 35. ...
Survivors of Testicular Cancer At Risk Due to Low Testosterone LevelsAriela Katz
TESTICULAR cancerDRUG side effectsCure rates for stage 1 testicular cancer are reaching 100%. However, long‐term treatment‐related side effects pose their own health risks. Regular follow up and monitoring are important for early detection and timely treatment of conditions such as testosterone ...
"Some of these health problems have been previously linked tolow testosterone levelsamong men in the general population and in a few studies of testicularcancersurvivors, but this study is one of the most comprehensive to date – we are looking at 15 different health conditions," said Dr. Abu...

Undescended testes, or cryptorchidism, confers an increased risk of testicular cancer and infertility in adult life Testosterone and insulin-like peptide 3 produced by the Leydig cells both have a pivotal role in testicular descent Testicular descent relies primarily on hormone-dependent development and...

Due to the nature of the involved organ, the cancer interferes with a broadly understood sexuality. It affects the organ which is associated with masculinity. A surgical intervention, irradiation or chemotherapy entail short- or long-term side effects that undermine one's sense of masculinity. ...
Recent studies have reported that DNA methylation of the testicular genome affects testicular cancer and infertility [[33], [34], [35]], and that dynamic changes in DNA methylation are further associated with testosterone synthesis and sexual maturation [7]. Pigs are considered to be a valuable...
