10 Signs Revealing You Have Testicular Cancer

2. Persistent Cough

One of the main signs of the spread of testicular cancer to the lungs is a cough and could include coughing up blood. This happens when the cancer is in an advanced Stage Four. When other cancers spread to the lung, it is different than primary lung cancer and is called lung metastasis. Lung metastasis also includes symptoms such as shortness of breath, chest infections, chest pain, and weight loss.

1. Swollen Glands

If testicular cancer has metastasized to other parts of the body, a man might notice swelling around the neck area, pelvis, or chest. The most common place to which testicular cancer spreads is the lungs. The liver and bones are usually next in advanced stages. It can spread to one or several different areas and is considered ‘distant metastasis’. Rarely does testicular cancer affect the brain, but it is possible if the original tumor is a choriocarcinoma.
