Introduction: Testicular cancer is usually seen among young men and has lower incidence when compared with other urologic malignancies. This study aims to share the results of testicular cancer during the last ten years. Methods: In this study, the patients who underwent orchiectomy in our unit between January 2009 and January 2019 were reviewed retrospectively. Age of the patients, the laboratory results and pathological reports were recorded. The patients who were diagnosed as benign tumor and inflammation were excluded from this study. Results: There were 131 patients in the present study. The patients' age was between 21 and 90, with a mean age of 37.16+12.18 years. The germ cell tumor was reported in 125 patients. The remaining of the six patients had a sex-cord stromal tumor (n=3), liposarcoma (n=2) and lymphoma (n=1). Of these 125 patients, seminomas were seen in 39.2% and nonseminomatous germ cell tumor in 60.8% of the patients. Mixed germ cell tumor was reported in 65 (85.52%) patients; embryonal carcinoma was detected in seven (9.21%) patients. Four (5.26%) patients were diagnosed as a teratoma. Discussion and Conclusion: Most of the patients had germ cell tumors. Mixed germ cell tumor was the commonest tumor and followed by seminoma.

Objective: Early detection of testicular cancer is cost-effective and accessible through screening and promoting health beliefs tailored to awareness. Self-examination is equally vital, yet research on young adult males in Turkey regarding testicular cancer health beliefs and early diagnostic behaviors is limited. This study evaluates the effect of online educational interventions on shaping health beliefs in this population. Methods: A randomized controlled experimental design was utilized, involving 112 males aged 18–35 attending family health centers under the Ağrı Provincial Health Directorate between April 2021 and June 2022. Using random sampling, 90 participants were selected. Data were collected via the "Introductory Information Form" and "Champion's Health Belief Model Scale." Statistical analyses included descriptive statistics, chi-square, Greenhouse-Geisser correction, Sphericity Assumption assessment, Cochran Q, McNemar test, and Independent Groups t-test. Results: Sociodemographic characteristics were homogeneous between experimental and control groups (p > 0.05). The intervention, based on the Testicular Cancer Health Belief Model, significantly improved participants' health beliefs and behaviors. Positive changes were observed in perceived sensitivity, seriousness, benefits, and self-efficacy, alongside reduced perceived barriers (p < 0.05). Conclusion: Online education positively influenced health beliefs related to testicular cancer, highlighting its potential in awareness and proactive health engagement. This study enriches the limited research on health beliefs and early diagnostics among young Turkish males, emphasizing the utility of digital platforms in addressing critical health concerns.
