I truly wasn't aware that testicular cancer patients recovered more often than other forms of cancer. But it appears its the very nature of the testicles that make it more likely to recover than others.

| Heat-sensitive sperm develop in the testicles, which are a few degrees cooler than the rest of the body. "If we understand how heat may naturally help kill testicular cancer cells, then perhaps we can make it happen in other solid tumours," said Prof. Robert Getzenberg, director of urology research at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, Md., and co-author of a commentary on the theory published in Wednesday's issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association. |
