Seminoma - (pronounced) (SEH-meh-NOH-moo) type of cancer that starts in gametes in men. Gametes are cells that make sperm in men or eggs in women. Seminomas most commonly appear in the testicles, but they can also appear in other areas of the body, such as the brain, chest, or abdomen. Seminomas tend to grow and spread slowly. Some seminomas produce a hormone called beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (beta-HCG) that can cause signs and symptoms of illness. Seminomas usually appear in young men
