Intravenous (IV) therapy is the administration of a fluid substance (solution) directly into a vein as a therapeutic treatment. IV therapy, in one form or another, has been around since the 17th century, but was abandoned for several decades because of poor understanding of its nuances.
Testicular cancer is rare, accounting for about 1% of all male cancers. However, testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men ages 15-35. Every year, in the U.S., an estimated 8500 men are diagnosed with testicular cancer and 350 die from the disease. That averages to every hour of every day some man hears, âYou have testicular cancer.â. Testicular cancer is one of the most treatable cancers, especially if caught early. If caught at an early stage, before it has spread, the survival rate is almost 100% but if caught at a late stage the rate drops to 80%.
An estimated 559,312 people die of cancer each year, i.e. one person every minute. Death due to cancer is 22.8% of total deaths in US (higher than WHO global cancer statistics). The lifetime probability of developing cancer in US men is 1 in 2, and in US women is 1 in 3 (highest in the world).n UK, cancer statistics show that one in three people will develop cancer in their lifetime and over one in four people die from cancer. Cancer is the cause of 30% of all the deaths in males and 25% in females. (2007: incidences of cancers in UK).
