No testicular torsion is when the spermatic chord gets twisted and cut off the blood supply to the teste, if it isn't treated VERY quickly the teste dies and begins to get gangrenous. Testicular cancer is a cancerous growth of one or both teste.

∙ 9y agoTorsion is not related to cancer. Torsion is classified as an injury whereas cancer is a disease. Though, there is a disease (deformity fairly common) called bell clapper deformity. This is a deformity where the tunica vaginalis (covering of the testis) is not fully anchored to the scrotal wall. This allows for extra movement of one or both testis. This is most commonly seen in infants and those going through puberty. Cancer, however of the testicle, is a little more on the rare scale along with torsion. Not much is known about what risk factors are for testicular cancer. Both conditions are of their own accord. Both are very curable to a point. Torsion: within 6 hours of the incident, the testicles survival rate diminishes after about 5. Cancer: if caught early enough, is highly curable as well. In conclusion, dont worry about these conditions too much. Just keep a regular eye (monthly examnine) unless there is a sudden change or sudden severe pain.
