Testicular Cancer

Would you like to know what lab results mean? Medical Tests Analyzer Software helps to understand and explains your blood test.

Testicular cancer is cancer that starts in the testicles, the male reproductive glands located in the scrotum. Symptoms: There may be no symptoms. Most commonly presents as a hard, painless nodule on one testis noticed by the patient or at a regular clinic exam. Elevated serum tumor markers are diagnostic of the disease and aid in monitoring the treatment response. Ultrasound of the testis is 90% to 95% accurate in diagnosis. Testicular cancers are very sensitive to chemotherapy and are curable even when metastatic. Cure rates for good-risk disease are 90-95%. Infertility is a complication of surgery. Radical orchiectomy to confirm histologic diagnosis is initial treatment in most cases. Cancer usually affects only one testicle.
