A new study conducted at McGill University Health Centre examines why sperm banks are unpopular with patients. According to the study's investigations, there is need of improving doctor-patient communication about the benefits of sperm banking.

Dr. Peter Chan, senior author of study stated that the testicular cancer accounts for over 25 per cent of all cancers diagnosed in men aged 20-24 years and Hodgkin's lymphoma accounts for about 15 per cent in the same age group

Johns Hopkins University experts believe they've discovered the key to why testicular cancer has a high survival rate as compared to other types. Testicular cancer cells have been found to be sensitive to heat therapy that may make them more treatable even when they have spread to other organs.

The experts surmise that heat therapy may be used to fight combat other types of cancer

Men with infertility and abnormal sperm counts have a 20 percent greater risk of testicular cancer compared to the general population, a new study found. Researchers at the Department of Urology at New York-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical Center studied the charts of 3,847 men with infertility during a 10-year period.

The vast majority of infertile men studied didn't have testicular cancer. Testicular cancer is rare and often curable - especially in its early stages. Testicular cancer is the most common type of cancer among men aged 15-35, the researchers note

New analysis shows men who survive testicular cancer are at increased risk of developing other types of cancer for at least 35 years after being diagnosed with the original disease.

The study also shows a greater risk of malignant mesotheliom, a cancer that affects the lining of the lungs, and esophagus cancer among testicular cancer survivors. Patients likely developed the disease from the outdated practice of treating these patients with chest radiation, says Dr. Lois B. Travis of the National Cancer Institute
