In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Rob Hamilton, a urologic oncologist at Princess Margaret Cancer Centre and University of Toronto in Canada, takes a deep dive into the science, strategy, and nuance of testicular cancer surveillance.Dr. Hamilton brings a unique perspective on how testicular cancer treatment must consider not just a cure—but the decades of life that follow. With a focus on active surveillance, he demystifies the term and explains how closely monitored checkups using blood markers, imaging, and physical exams can help reduce the risk of over-treatment.From managing relapse anxiety and reducing unnecessary CT scan radiation, to why Canadian guidelines emphasize quality of life and long-term survivorship, this conversation is rich with expert insight and practical clarity. Dr. Hamilton also unpacks the growing interest in alternatives like low-dose imaging, MRI, and even the potential of liquid biomarkers to reduce treatment burden without compromising outcomes.Have a question for a future expert guest?

Listen to today's podcast... I had no idea. There will be nearly 9,000 new cases of Testicular Cancer diagnosed during this year and more than 300 young men will die from the disease because they didn't catch it in time. That is more deaths than women in this age group who will die of breast cancer.) Testicular Cancer is the most common cancer in men ages 15-40, that time when we don't want to admit the possibility of illness.  However, if detected early, it is among the easiest to cure. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating Testicular Cancer Awareness Week: You are never too young or too old to do a self-exam.  Teach young boys just like we do teen girls to do a self-exam.  It should not be embarrassing, and it does save lives. Know the risk factors: Age: Most testicular cancers occur between the ages of 15 and 40. The main risk factor for testicular cancer are undescended testicle(s). A family history of testicular cancer increases the risk. Race and ethnicity: The risk of testicular cancer among white American men is about five times that of African-American men and more than double that of Asian-American men. Talk about it. Private parts are private, but knowing how to detect an illness early is just as essential as the ‘birds and the bees'.

James Hible was 25 when he was diagnosed with testicular cancer. Twice, the same physician misdiagnosed his condition. After six months with a second lump plus a growing first lump on his testicle, James finally saw his regular doctor who sent him for a scan and immediately diagnosed testicular cancer. James had an orchiectomy and one round of chemotherapy to treat his Stage 1 testicular cancer and five years of surveillance that ended in 2020. Before, during, and now, after testicular cancer, James focused on his art. He was around seven years old when his family and teachers recognized his artistic talent. He liked to draw and continued with that passion into adulthood. However, James also discovered football at the same young age and enjoyed watching games then and now.

In this episode of It Takes Balls, Dr. Steven Bradley, a critical care anesthesiologist and host of The Black Doctors Podcast, offers an insider's perspective on anesthesia and surgical care, especially for testicular cancer patients. As a physician who has personally undergone an orchiectomy, Dr. Bradley shares his unique dual perspective as both a doctor and a patient, shedding light on what happens before, during, and after surgery.The conversation explores the different types of anesthesia—regional, sedation, and general—and how they impact patient comfort and safety. Dr. Bradley explains how anesthesiologists carefully tailor anesthesia plans, accounting for factors like preexisting conditions, chemotherapy effects (such as bleomycin-induced lung toxicity), and even lifestyle habits like marijuana use. He also dispels myths about anesthesia, discusses post-surgical fatigue, and addresses concerns about nausea, pain management, and rare complications like anesthesia-related neuropathy.Beyond the operating room, Dr. Bradley talks about his passion projects, including The Black Doctors Podcast, which aims to increase diversity in medicine, and AmbientRx, a music initiative designed to help patients manage stress and anxiety.Whether you're a testicular cancer patient preparing for surgery or simply curious about the science behind going under, this episode offers an engaging and informative look at the crucial, yet often overlooked, role of anesthesiology in patient care.Have a question for a future expert guest?

After Joe Brennen noticed that his right testicle was unusually hard, he immediately sought medical attention.  An ultrasound revealed a cyst on the testicle and a diagnosis of Seminoma pT1A, or Stage One testicular cancer.  He underwent a successful surgical procedure which resulted in the removal of the testicle and his spermatic cord.  Joe said the recovery was much rougher than the procedure.  It caused him to miss two weeks of work and left him in pain that he addressed with Vicodin and ibuprofen.  Joe rallied, recovered and says his health is very close to what it was before his diagnosis.

Dr. Natalie Crawford answers voicemail questions about male fertility. Questions included: I have been trying to get pregnant for 18 months, had a miscarriage, and am seeing a fertility specialist. My husband's sperm motility is 36% and morphology is 2%. The clinic says the numbers are minimally low and we can still try medicated cycles and IUI. I want feedback on whether we should stop the medicated cycles and focus on improving my husband's sperm first. I have two healthy children but have had two recent miscarriages. My husband's semen analysis shows normal count/volume but only 3% normal morphology. I want to know if the low morphology could be causing the miscarriages and if we would still have a good chance of conceiving naturally. My husband was treated for testicular cancer and we were able to bank his sperm. I am trying to decide whether to try IUI first or go straight to IVF given our limited sperm supply. My husband has 1% sperm morphology but all other parameters are normal. I am getting mixed advice - the urologist thinks we can conceive naturally, but the RE recommends IUI. I want to understand more about the importance of morphology. Want to receive my weekly newsletter?

Rovito, Ph.D., an associate professor at the University of Central Florida, adds another factor to resilience: connectedness.He shares some insights from his investigatory project on connectedness or disconnection, which could be defined, he says, as "no one really knows me."

“It was nothing to worry about,” Andrew was repeatedly told, when he visitedurgent care twice for pain in his pelvis area. But the discomfort wouldn't go away, so he met with his primary care physician who referred him to a urologist for an ultrasound. The scans led to a testicular cancer diagnosis in early 2023. It was caught early enough, and he was told there was a good prognosis. The cancer had only spread very lightly to his lymph nodes. Adam works as the director of data analytics for a pharmaceutical company. Heloves vacationing with his family, watching his children play their sports (soccer for his son Jacob and gymnastics for his daughter Julia) and caring for his 2004 BMW. He hopes to help normalize conversations around testicular cancer for other men so they can overcome stigmas and shame around it. Today, he and his wife Kara arecelebrating their wedding anniversary. Dr. Atish Choudhury is a medical oncologist and clinical/translational investigatorwithin the Lank Center for Genitourinary Oncology at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and currently serves as Chair of the Gelb Center for Translational Research. He also serves as an Assistant Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School. His research interests include investigation of genetic and epigenetic biomarkers from circulating free DNA from patients with metastatic cancer, biomarker studies from other banked human specimens from patients participating in clinical trials, and clinical investigation in novel therapeutics for genitourinary malignancies. According to the American Cancer Society, testicular cancer is not common. About 1 of every 250 males will develop testicular cancer at some point during their lifetime. The American Cancer Society's estimate for testicular cancer in the United States for 2024 is about 9,760 new cases of testicular cancer diagnosed. The average age of males when first diagnosed with testicular cancer is about 33. This is largely a disease of young and middle-aged men, but about 6% of cases occur in children and teens, and about 8% occur in men older than 55.
