In last video, CancerBro met Mr. Tiesto who was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Today, CancerBro will explain us in detail about the various risk factors for the disease.
Video Transcript:
Incidence of testicular cancer is highest in North-European and least in Asians and Africans.
Cryptorchidism, or failure of descent of the testis into the scrotal sac, is also a risk factor for the disease.
In this condition, testis may lie either in abdomen or in inguinal canal, as you can see in the figure.
Various syndromes such as Down's syndrome. Klinefelter's syndrome and testicular dysgenesis syndrome may also be a risk factor for the disease.
Previous history of cancer in opposite testis, previous testicular biopsy, testicular atrophy or impaired fertility also increase the risk of testicular cancer.
