Recent epidemiologic studies identified credible associations between marijuana smoking and risk of nonseminomatous testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs), but did not distinguish exposure to cannabinoid compounds from exposure to other constituents of OBJECTIVE
Testicular cancer incidence appears to be increasing. In many regions, industrialization results in the production of potentially carcinogenic environmental toxins. We review the available data linking environmental toxins to testicular germ cell tumors (TGCT).
METHODS
A PubMed review of
Testicular cancer is the most common malignancy in men 20 to 35 years of age and has an annual incidence of four per 100,000. If diagnosed early, the cure rate is nearly 99 percent. Risk factors for testicular cancer include cryptorchidism (i.e., undescended testicles), family history, infertility,
BACKGROUND
With modern treatment, more than 95% of American men who are diagnosed with testicular cancer will be cured. Although there is growing evidence that these individuals may face heightened risk of cardiovascular disease after chemotherapy, there is a paucity of research to objectively
Smoking during pregnancy is suggested as a cause of the increasing incidence rates of testis cancer in Denmark, particularly for the age group between 25 and 50. Testis cancer is associated with lower birthweights, as is smoking during pregnancy. Danish women have rates of everyday smoking amongst
Podophyllotoxin derivatives like etoposide 7a, etophos 7b, and teniposide 7c are used clinically as potent chemotherapeutic agents for a variety of tumors including small cell lung carcinoma, testicular cancer, and malignant lymphoma. These compounds derived from a series of modifications which
Trends in cancer risk of the Varese province Cancer Registry from 1976 to 1987 have been considered. The analysis has been carried out subdividing the 12 years of observation in three quadriennia. In younger ages (0 to 54) an increase of melanomas, of testicular cancer and, only in females, of

Cryptorchidism is the most frequent congenital malformation in boys and is associated with low sperm count, infertility and testicular cancer. Unhealthy maternal lifestyle during pregnancy such as smoking, high prepregnancy body mass index (BMI) as well as alcohol and caffeine intake may
Although cancer mortality in young adults accounts for only a small proportion of all cancer deaths, it is important since it provides useful indications of the most likely future trends, and relevant information on the role of exposure to specific, or newer, carcinogens. We, therefore, analysed
A retrospective study of cancer was conducted in the region of South Gujarat particularly in Surat and its vicinity over a period of 6 years (1980-85) to determine type and frequency of occurrence of various malignancies. During this period 2358 new cancer cases were recorded. A total of 60 types of
Trends in cancer mortality in Switzerland were analysed over the period 1980-2001, on the basis of the World Health Organization database. Appropriately developed correction factors were utilized for the period before 1995, to allow for spurious trends introduced by the change between the 8th and
In autopsy material of the Department of Pathology at the Albert Szent-Györgyi Medical University in 16.8% of kidney cancers, in 12.5% of urinary bladder cancers and in 21.8% of prostatic cancers were second primary malignant tumours observed in the urinary system or in other organs. The cause of
A variety of lifestyle factors, including physical activity, artificial sweeteners, alcohol consumption and smoking, have been reported to contribute to the risk of developing urological malignancies. A great number of epidemiological studies suggest that sports and physical activity may have a
