    It is sensible to get anything you are concerned about checked.

    Usually Testicular cancers involve the swelling of one entire testicle, not just a bump on the testicle. You should still get this checked by your doctor though.

    It could just be a cyst. You should search 'testicular cysts' on google to look at the different types of cysts to see if the one you have could be one. It could be cancer but it probably isn't. I would definitely go to the doctor to be sure.

    Yes you need to get it checked, but I doubt very much it is cancer.
