is this hereditary and who is at risk for this type of disease?


Glynda - July 19th, 2010 2:32 AM

most forms of cancer are hereditary, including testicular cancer. People at risk are those who have undescended testicles, having abnormality in the development of the testes and Having Klinefelter's syndrome. It is also suggested that Caucasians tend to develop testicular cancer more than any other race.

how do you know that testes are not developed properly?

the cause is unkown but they are common in premature infants. In most cases the testicles will descend at 9 months. if it is still undescended at 1 year, then the baby will be evaluated by a profesional.

Woah, really. White males are more susceptible. I never really thought that race would be an issue. However I do believe that age can also be a factor as two people I know who are in their 60's have testicular cancer.

since cancer attacks the cells, it is hereditary. It does not however follow that if your father had testicular cancer you would have it to, rather it is a sign that you are "at risk" for that form of cancer.

I've learned that the testes is the reproductive organ that produces the sperm cells. Then, if happened that the testes has a cancer, then it is an alarming event in the lives of the bearer. It may happened to the person if it is in their blood but sometimes it is acquired in the environment.

It is a kind of cancer of which it involves infertility of a male and with this,the victim may not experience erection.

Numerous factors that can ignite testicular cancer. there are the "go with the trend" lifestyle. They go on drinking,smoking, food to intake and stress.And the worst of it "a trend" of go on dating with different women.
