Testicular Cancer: What You Really Need to Know | Mark Litwin, MD, MPH | UCLAMDChat

UCLA urologist Mark Litwin, MD, MPH, chair of the UCLA Department of Urology, and a testicular cancer survivor, as he describes the basics of testicular cancer diagnosis and treatment and the latest in clinical management.

[@GoDonnyK]

Testicular cancer survivor here. I was diagnosed on my 22nd birthday in July of 2018 but I have been cancer free since April of 2019! I cannot stress enough to get yourself checked ASAP after you notice something out of the ordinary. If you wait, it will just mean more chemo or other treatment down the road. Catch it early and don’t be afraid or embarrassed to go to the doctor and tell your family/friends. It’s nothing to be ashamed of

[@hexon8013]

I want to get it checked out but I am living in a pandemic where I can't, I am stressed out.

Hexon even if you are unfortunate like I was and it is indeed cancer, testicular cancer is one of the most treatable cancers that exists so you will most likely be okay! A very very high success rate at getting rid of it, even at advanced stages so that’s reassuring

This video was such a wake up call for me to go get checked. I had a hard lump on my right testicle that I had noticed for quite some time, years even, but I was too scared to go to the doctor. I had constant anxiety, like a black cloud that was constantly following me. I finally decided to go to the doctor to get some peace of mind and luckily it turned out to be some kind of cyst. Moral of the story, go get checked out, it could be something serious or nothing at all!

[@mikeofcetacea]

Stage IIB mixed germ cell tumor survivor here. Had my orchiectomy in late July 2022, went through EP chemo from August through October, and I go in for Post-Chemo RPLND surgery next Friday for what will hopefully be the last action we take to treat my case of this illness. I think it's important to reiterate what Dr. Litwin says here: if you have testicles, start your self exams immediately. If you notice any changes, seek out your primary care doctor for an exam, at the very least, and even ask for a referral to a urologist. Do not self-diagnose and do not wait until you present with secondary symptoms. I noticed a right-sided varicocele back in late 2020 and got an all-clear from an ultrasound in early 2021. Over the course of the following year and a half, I noticed changes in the size, firmness, and shape of my right testis. Rather than follow back up with my doctor, I trusted the earlier ultrasound rather than my understanding of how my own body felt. Cut to April 2022, when I was rushed to the ER with excruciating pain and localized infection, uncommon symptoms. After three months of antibiotics, poor ultrasound image quality due to inflammation, incorrect differential diagnoses, and a second opinion, I was finally diagnosed with TC at Memorial Sloan Kettering and began receiving proper treatment an excellent care. Don't wait. Cop a feel and seek medical attention if you notice anything changing.

I learned so much from this doctor. I think my first health scare regarding this started way back in high-school when I took Sex Ed. I remember finding a lump on my left testicle in the shower and freaking out until I finally went in and got checked out. As it turns out that lump was no other Than a cest. Than way back in 2012 I had a really bad groin injury which resulted in a hydrocele on my right testicle, so I would get checked out year after year until, I learned to just chill out. Take care of your balls fellas.

[@jaelnava_]

Was diagnosed with TC few days ago after dragging my feet at having a testicular mass examined. Had my orchiectomy within 8 day of finding out the mass was malignant. Yesterday learned I'm a stage II patient because it hasn't quiet made its way to my lymph nodes (we hope) but its penetrated the channel within the testicular cord which means its on its way if its not there already. I'm in between chemotherapy and lymph node removal but leaning towards removal. If you act fast, you have more options.

This video is excellent and makes me feel much better about my prognosis. Currently recovering from orchiectomy (1 week ago). It happens fast. Found a ~1" hard/firm lump on right testicle and immediately when to doctor for check up 5 days later. 10 days after that I was in OR for surgery. To any guys that are concerned about what they may have go immediately and get checked. Hard firm lumps in/on testicles are nothing to play with and nothing to be ashamed of. Don't wait, if it's cancerous it won't get better on it's own and the sooner you get treated the less likely you are to need additional surgery and chemotherapy. I should have been doing a better job of checking myself monthly, I just noticed a different sensation than normal and checked myself out.

Very calming to watch for me. I was thinking testicular cancer, but realized my lump wasn't on the actual testicle but above - spermatocele.

I would NEVER advise anyone to have the lymph node dissection if the AFP and HGC markers are negative after the orchiectomy. I had a foot long scar from the operation and after months of investigation and angiography the surgeon clipped my renal artery during the surgery. 26 years later I’m still on daily antihypertensive meds. Also there is a risk of permanent impotence and retrograde ejaculation permanently.

[@karenbogle]

Omg. I'm so sorry.

[@GoDonnyK]

I’m sorry that happened to you. However I don’t think it’s responsible to discourage others from having that surgery, especially if they’re in a situation where medical professionals are telling them it’s the right thing to do. I also had the surgery, and I have the scar (though It doesn’t bother me cause it shows I’m a badass and it’s kinda cool too), and I didn’t have those complications from the surgery. With any surgery there is risk involved, even with something as simple as getting your wisdom teeth removed. It sounds like it was the fault of your particular surgeon. Luckily people have the option to do the less invasive robot surgery with smaller hole scars if they want. I chose the old fashioned way cause there was a much higher success rate of getting rid of the cancer that way. Again I’m sorry that happened to you and I wish you all the best.

[@testicularcancercommons9284]

As a very experienced medical oncologist in germ cell tumor, I have to say that Dr Litwin has not presented a very "fair and balanced" viewpoint regarding surgical management of early stage disease and the "risk" of active surveillance. The data repeatedly show that active surveillance is safe and effective management of early stage seminoma or non‐seminoma and in most cases primary RPLND represents over treatment. In the US and around the world, active surveillance is the preferred management strategy for most early stage patients. Dr Litwin is promoting his own world view not a consensus of experts.

Hello, I'm a 21 year old male and my left testicle is significantly smaller than the right one. To put it in perspective my left one is like the size of a grape and my right one is a little less than the size of an egg. Did further self examination, and I have determined that my left testicle hasn't descended yet either. it's feel like its attached to some sort of cord near the top of my groin area that's not letting it drop down and am not sure if that has to do with anything. I also feel like there's a small bubble/ fluid like sac that's around my left testicle. I did some research and I don't think I have testicular cancer or anything concerning like that. However, I was wondering if there’s any sort of medical treatment or surgery for my left testicle to return to normal size?

why i think i have first one

[@londongreen4686]

#1 thing is to see a doctor ASAP!! i just went yesterday because i felt a small little ball attached to my left testical and i was concerned because it had been there for atleast a year and never changed in size but ky doctor said there was a 95% that it was just a “Hydrocele” which is just a small sack of fluid that produces when you are born not all men are born with it tho, its completely fine and non cancerous he even told me he had the exact same thing when he was in his late teens. But anyways i’ll update you guys when i go in for my ultrasound🤧

[@djamalsarr2469]

How r u now

[@londongreen4686]

Djamal Sarr I’m actually doing pretty well now that they’ve told me it’s not a concern all the doctor did was ran a scan and she rubbed warm gel over my scrotum and that took about an hour and 2days later they called and said its just a normal cyst that will go away as time progresses.

​@londongreen4686 That's good news. Where was it attached on the left testicle. Front, side, top, bottom?

[@alejandrovalencia7971]

Would a stage 2 still require the rplnd? Or would chemotherapy be the only therapy? I have non-seminoma with lymph node invasion present in pathology, kinda want to be prepared for my appointment in a few days.

[@akeita4191]

I had a surgery 1 year ago for hernia but in the end after the surgery one of my right testicular is still bigger than the left one. The doctor told me it wasn’t hernia it was a fluid in the testicular. I wanna go to the hospital and check again why one is still bigger than the one but I’m scared because my insurance is not valid anymore and it might cost a lot money.

I feel like it might be a spermatocele, is this also common in kids ?

[@TarunKumar-tr7js]

I have aslo what is the location of your lump

[@pose.2592]

I got a lump in my testicle(non painful and also the size of the example shown), but i think its not attached in my testicle, because i can hold it firmly away from my testis, but its under the scrotum. I'm worried on what it could be.

[@robrob5244]

I think i have a same situation. Im worried also 😔

[@dicesuki4286]

Me too bruh... in the left testicle.. im scared

[@pose.2592]

I went to a doctor, and he told me that what i had was a not a testicular tumor, but just a part of my skin. Go see your doctor maybe he has a good news for you man.

[@iFreeSkillzz]

Dice Suki yeah man I think a lot of men worry when they feel that. I have it too and I’m certain it’s just skin. Cancer grows from within. So if it’s detached I think you’ll be okay

[@ursamajor6546]

If it's not part of your testicle, it will be harmless. I've had quite a few visits to the doctors over the years with testicle pain, the latest was ultra sound this morning due to at least 10 weeks of almost daily ache or pain - turned out to be a varicose vein in (unusually my right testicle) I've also had epididimytis, an infection in my "sperm tube" that took 2 courses of antibiotics to clear up. I've also had a cyst, although this was about 20 years ago. All of these harmless problems had very worrying symptoms ie pain, swelling, back pain, groin pain, abdominal pain. There are also tubes that attach to the top of the testicles, that when I feel them, it feels like lumps that are attached the testicles but they're not. I just wanted to come on here to reassure people who are as worried as I was!

[@popeater07]

Have lipoma(harmless cyst) all over my body for more than 9 yrs .. I am also feeling some nodules in my scrotum.. is there any connection between these two!

[@noman2008]

Is it normal at the bottom pole.or let just say the epididymis at the bottom part feels like a round end,firm/hard but smooth...is that normal.?i have at my left part and the right part but in different insize...its been 2moths and no sign of enlargement of testis no signs of pain.
