What is a testicular exam and why is it important?

A testicular exam is when you roll your testicles around in your hands to feel for potential cancer/tumors.Is it important? Yes, however it is not as important as breast exams for women, since breast cancer is more common than testicular cancer. It can also lead to hypochondria, so don't do it unless you're sure that you are comfortable with it.

Does smoking marijuana stems cause testicular cancer?

I looked up google because i wanted to see what it said and its not great. "Frequent or long-term use of marijuana may significantly increase a man's risk of developing the most aggressive type of testicular cancer, according to a study by researchers at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center. The study was published today in the journal "Cancer." Researchers found that men who smoked marijuana at least once a week or since adolescence had twice the risk of being diagnosed with testicular cancer than men who had never smoked pot". http://blog.seattlepi.com/healthreport/archives/161589.asp Updated: They found what they call a correlation between the two. This is the same as saying 400 of the men with cancer drank tea regularly. The answer to this question is no. Smoking Marijuana does not cause testicular cancer, however a lot of the people who have it smoke weed. On top of that, a lot of people in general smoke weed.

Why has lung cancer increased in women?

Smoking. There is a direct correlation with the number of smokers in a given time period and, separated by around 20 years, the number of cases of lung cancer. See the related links. In the UK, smoking prevalence in women has halved since 1975 yet the incidence of lung cancer has doubled and is still rising. Explain that!


How is testicular cancer prevented?

It's almost totally random.....the biggest risk factor is undescended testicle from birth, which ups your risk about 15-fold. And it affects caucasions more than Hispanics and MUCH more than African Americans. Having said all that, it's rare and the odds of getting it are slim.


How many people die from cancer that is not related to smoking?

It's impossible to say, just as is the case for 'smoking related' cancers. However, as smoking prevalence decreases in the developed world, the incidence of cancer is increasing. In the UK, since 1975 the incidence of lung cancer in women has doubled even though their smoking prevalence has halved. Since the 1950s, governments have been playing down the massive risk of lung cancer from air pollution and 'diverting' the blame to smoking. (Studies suggested that air pollution accounted for 30% of lung cancers, which makes a mockery of Tobacco Control's claim that 90% are 'caused' by smoking!) Science has been taken over by the the politicians and the corporations with a vested financial interest. Even if they did know, would they tell us the truth?
