Introduction In this report an investigation was about testicular cancer, what it is, who it affects. Treatments available, ways to manage it and a define way to run a campaign successfully. I will also talk about a campaign I am going to run. 1. Testicular cancer Usually the cells within the testicle grow in a control manner but occasionally they grow in an abnormal way causing the testicles to change shape and size. With the help of the pituitary gland the main male sex hormone testosterone
Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the male’s testicles first then spreads to other parts of the body. It most commonly spreads to the lymph nodes after it spreads throughout the testicles. Testicles are part of the male’s reproductive system that makes testosterone, the male hormone, and sperm. It is treatable and can usually be cured. The signs of testicular cancer are lumps, swelling, and pain in your testicles. You can check for these lumps yourself, but it is better and more
health and illness prevention by assessing, diagnosing, planning, implementing and evaluating the patient to help their current health concerns and /or issues (Berman et al. 2010). In the case of a 29-year-old male, he has been diagnosed with a testicular tumour and has reported symptoms of urinary retention, incontinence and pain. A care plan was devised and education was given to allow the patient to achieve his goals. Berman et al. (2010, p.183) describe the nursing process as a ‘systematic
of paper ... ... things, and will always be and remain a hero in both the "athletic world" and the "world of cancer patients." In conclusion, Lance Armstrong has accomplished many great things that people can only dream to accomplish. I chose to write a biography on him, because of the many things he has done in his life. Everything from his athletic success to his overcoming of cancer has taught me a lot about living life without regrets. His story in life truly is inspiring; he has overcome everything
France winner and metastatic testicular cancer survivor, helps people living with cancer to connect with the services they need and advocates for cancer research across the globe (Korth, 2005). I chose to write about this foundation because of my own cancer diagnosis in 2010. Having received a copy of LIVESTRONG Guidebook Planner And Journal from a friend as a gift upon my diagnosis, I found its guidance and resources an invaluable source of encouragement throughout my cancer journey. However, despite
torsion can recur because five appendages potentially may experience torsion (appendix testis, appendix epididymis, paradidymisorgan of Giraldes, superior and inferior vas aberrans of Haller). Surgical intervention is indicated when the diagnosis of testicular torsion cannot be eliminated or when the symptoms are
March 24th, 2014 Have you ever had a sudden severe pain in your scrotum and testicle? If you have you may be suffering from a Testicular torsion, which is also known as, a Testis torsion. This is a serious medical emergency that requires surgery immediately to save the testicle. Testis torsion happens when the spermatic cord that provides blood flow to the testicle that turns and becomes twisted. Usually cold temperatures, a medical condition, exercise can cause testis torsion it also can
advocated for colon cancer screening after the death of her husband. Aware that a screening colonoscopy is dreaded and feared procedure for many patients, Ms. Couric underwent a live, on-air colonoscopy on The Today Show following a weeklong cancer awareness campaign.The impact she had on the public, now known as the “Couric Effect” created a 20% increase in screening colonoscopies after her campaign. Another example is after Olympic cyclist Lance Armstrong’s diagnosis of testicular cancer, it became fashionable
cyclist in world, but in 1996 he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. While undergoing his treatment, Armstrong had to go through two surgeries. One was to remove the cancerous testicle, and the other was to take out the two cancerous lesions from his brain. During his treatment, Armstrong created the Lance Armstrong Foundation which helps people with their struggle to beat cancer and to find a cure. Lance Armstrong would continue to race after his cancer, and only 3 years later he won the Tour De Fran
Cancer is a general term for a large group of diseases that can affect any part of the body; it is caused by mutations to the original genetic code. Cancer, in its simplest explanation, is the uncontrolled growth of cells within the body resulting in the accumulation of large masses of cells, commonly known as tumours. One significant Characteristic of cancer is the rapid multiplication of mutated cells that grows beyond their usual limits and result in tumours, some tumour cells also have the ability
Pedaling strong through the Pyrenees Mountains at remarkable speed, Lance Armstrong approached the tenth stage of the Tour de France. Beginning at an elevation of thirty-three feet above sea level, Armstrong was in sixteenth position with five minutes and fifty-four seconds separating him and the leader. For many this would be an insurmountable amount of time to makeup, especially on a stage containing such a grueling and exhausting climb, but Armstrong saw it as an opportunity to put his great mountain-climbing
walked a mile in his shoes". Lance Armstrong, the cyclist who overcame cancer and devoted his life in the foundation he created for cancer patients, is a very good modern example of a visionary leader. Since he survived this disease, his mission in life became to help others have a better chance when fighting with cancer. Still, he is always facing reality, both when he was a patient and now when he helps others fight cancer. Lance never tried to hide the truth either from himself or his fellow patients
GPA of 3.82/5, I will be completing my Master degree from the University of Rhode Island in Medical laboratory Science with a bias in Cytopathology in 2014. In partial fulfillment of the requirements for my master degree, I did a research on Testicular Cancer. In particular, I have studied Seminoma, in which I have critically examined the different variants of seminomas in all of their stages of development, through a presentation of their epidemiology, etiology and risk factors. Furthermore, I have
Cancer When I think about the word cancer, I think about the sunset. It starts off shining in the morning but eventually conveys into darkness. The sky forms a shadow upon the sun causing the light to go dim and the glow you once experienced has disappeared into the twilight of nothingness. You enter a rough path in your life, one that you think you aren’t able to escape from, all because your body has developed a sickening, frightful, monstrous disease. A disease is a disorder of structure
for developing colon and other cancers. There are two common types of Peutz-Jeghers Syndrome. There is familial PJS and sporadic PJS. Familial PJS is the type that is due to a genetic mutation in a gene called STK11. The hereditary defect is passed down from one parent or both as a dominant trait. If a person has a parent that has this syndrome, the child has a 50% chance of inheriting the mutation
Pathophysiology I do not know for certain whether John’s condition was congenital or not however one of the possibilities is that John may have Cryptorchidism which is a congenital disorder where one or both testicles fail to descend into the scrotum. (Wilkins and Williams, 2010) It affects 30% of premature male neonates and 3% term babies. (Wilkins and Williams, 2010) In 80% of the cases the testicles fall into place, however some do not resolve by self and needs surgery, the earlier it is done
everyone stop talking just to clap for him. He has dazzled so many with his talent as a professional cyclist, as a father, and most importantly maintained himself as a "Cancer Survivor", not a victim. He has what you might call "ambition." But really he just has goals, and he strives everyday to meet the aspects of his goals. Cancer was a wakeup call for Lance, telling him he had a new lease on life, and to use it well, and everyday he uses his lease, with all the power he has. But the story of

The most common types of cancer for women were cervical cancer, ovarian cancer and breast cancer, while for men the most common types were skin cancer, lung cancer, testicular cancer and colon cancer
For most, the primary fears associated with cancer are connected to the effects of treatments. If the patient is diagnosed when the cancer is still in the early stages, more than likely surgery is the appropriate treatment. However if the cancer has developed into an advanced stage, a more drastic treatment is necessary. What exactly is Chemotherapy and why would it also kill “good” cells? Cancer could be described as the disease that sends cells out of control, rapidly multiplying the cells, until
“Cancer affects all of us, whether you’re a daughter, mother, sister, friend, coworker, doctor, or patient” (Aniston). Cancer treatment is a very sore subject, but many people are diagnosed with this disease. However, doctors have ways of finding cancer and treating it. Cancer is a very serious issue that needs to be dealt with in each person who is diagnosed with it. To understand the solution, one has to know the causes, effects, and problems of cancer.
