C60-C63: Malignant neoplasms of male genital organs
C63: Malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified male genital organs
Malignant neoplasm of other and unspecified male genital organs is a category of cancers that affect the male reproductive system. This group encompasses conditions where abnormal, potentially harmful cells grow uncontrollably in parts of the male genital organs; these parts may include testicles, penis, and other less defined areas. It's often not known why these cancers develop, but some potential causes or risk factors include genetic factors, infections, hormonal imbalances, and exposure to certain chemicals. Symptoms commonly associated with these conditions may vary, but typically include lumps, changes in size or color of genital organs, pain, swelling, and in some cases, unusual discharge. The progression of these cancers can be different based on individual characteristics, such as the type and stage of cancer, age, and overall health. Early diagnosis can improve the effectiveness of treatment and outcome.
