Testicular Cancer
Asbestos exposure has been linked to several cancers of the testicles. However, it is important to differentiate between conditions.
Testicular cancers are typically categorized as either:
Seminomas
Seminoma is a slow-growing cancer that begins in germ cells and is most often identified in middle-aged men. Here, “germ cell” does not refer to any external virus or bacteria but the type of cell that helps form sperm. Although seminomas start in the testes, they could spread to nearby lymph nodes and adversely affect other parts of the body.
Non-Seminomas
Non-Seminomas refer to a comparatively rapid-growing cancer that can be further subdivided into four types. Just like seminomas, non-seminomas are often caused by germ cell mutations. However, non-seminomas are significantly more likely to affect younger men.
There is little—if any—evidence to suggest that asbestos exposure directly causes either type of testicular cancer. However, some researchers believe that other toxic substances, including PFAS, could cause or contribute to testicular cancer. So, while asbestos exposure is most likely not a primary risk factor for testicular cancer, it could still increase an individual’s lifetime risk.
If you have a prior history of asbestos exposure and have experienced any of the symptoms associated with testicular cancer, you should contact your health care provider to discuss your options and further testing and treatment.
