Is it common for black men to develope testicular cancer?

Q: well, I think that I my have hit my left testicle, the next day it seemed to have swollen. that night I notice a lump on the top of it. I have made a appointment with a doctor.how long does it take to spread?is it common for black men to develope it?what else could it be besides cancer?

A: Actually no it is not common for black men to have testicular cancer, I believe it’s more common in Caucasian and Latino men 15-35 years old but that still does not rule you out. If the growth is on top of the testicle and not within it’s most likely a cyst in which doctors will either do nothing or will remove it depending on how bad it’s bothering you. What the doctor will typically do is perform an ultrasound to better observe the growth and determine if it is within the testicle or not. If it is within then the doctor will most likely remove the testicle ASAP. After the pathology and blood tests they will then determine whether cancer cells were released into your lymph nodes. Depending on the amount and stage of the cancer (if any) the doctor will schedule chemo or radiation therapy. Don’t worry though it sounds worse than it is, you have about a 95% chance of survival. The ability of you having kids in the future however, depends on how much treatment from radiation or chemo you will need.
