Testicular Cancer

Testicular Cancer most commonly affects younger men. The most common symptom is a painless lump in the testicle. The diagnosis is usually made by physical examination and ultrasound. The first step in management is removal of the testicle through a groin incision. If imaging or blood tests suggest the cancer has spread beyond the testicle, patients will require addition therapy in the form of chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or major abdominal surgery. Even when testicular cancer has spread, cure rates are very high with modern treatments.
