Male 1: Do you hear about the history of cancer? It is not only a disease, it sometimes an adolescent with diseases, is that true? Male 2: That is true. Male 1: When she loved a man, she will check the address at a young age. When she had met an adolescent start checking the testicles. Male 2: Right after puberty Male 1: What is an indicator that they felt the testicle area and it could be a possibility that they could have maybe cancer of the prostate. Male 2: It is an unexplained growth of the testicle and uneven feeling of the testicle. Testicle got bigger all of a sudden and it does not hurt. Male 1: That point you go to see a doctor, if you get to a doctor [voice overlapped]. Male 2: You are going to pediatrician because most of these kids are going to go to a pediatrician. Male 1: If he sees it and it is enlarging, he said to the three year old [voice overlapped] Male 2: You can send him immediately for a sum of it and the doctor study of the testicle. Male 1: And if they find Male 2: If they find that the testicle has lumps of bumps in there with multiple like mud ball appearances, we can alleviate the texture of the testicle. That is a tumor. Male 1: How do we get on that? Male 2: After that thing what you do is you draw a blood test and you do something which is called a tumor markers. Remember that the younger the age a diagnosis the more resemblance that tumor is it. If you find a kid who is 14, 15 years old and they develop a distinct tumor which is usually a bad tumor. When it happens at the age of 25, it is usually less aggressive and after the age of 25, it is usually gives you a breather that is not coming. You do not get those things. Then it gives you a breather until about the age of 45, between 35 and 45 usually there is no distinct tumor. It does not mean nothing in medicine is either a hundred percent or zero. It means that this is usually the effect. After the age of 45 usually you get the adult type of seminomas which is resurging of the seminomas that happen between the age of 25 and 35. They usually are not so aggressive but they also have to be taken care of. One of the things that we have to remember also is that about some of the people when they get they come to the people they come to speak too much. About 25% of this people, they started with being contagious with the infection. When you see an infection of the testicle, you treat it with antibiotics. Do not forget that you have to do a sonogram of the testicle. Make sure that there is nothing underlying on the different courses link. Male 1: What is the progress? Male 2: Depends on which tumor you have. If you have one of those bad diseases then basically you have to do a big operation like removal of the testicle, let the urethral section and treat them with chemo, you got to treat them with radiation. If you do a seminoma it is usually very good prognosis. You just treat them with radiation or removal of the testicle and then they do nothing. They do very well with a good normal life expentancy. Male 1: In other words, barely diagnosis you should have better results. Male 2: Very important that this particular tumor once you make a diagnosis you take it out same thing. Male 1: If boys do feel the testicles Male 2: They should feel the testicle. Male 1: If they are getting enlarged on one reticular pretty quick. Male 2: Go to your doctor immediately. Male 1: Have a check up. Male 2: You may have a hydrocele. A lot of swelling of one side of the scrotum is not a tumor. It is usually a hydrocele and the hydrocele in the kid is usually associated with hernia. It is not a tumor but a lot of times you may find a tumor. You may find a lump that is not painful and it is irregular and it is usually a tumor.
