Testicular Cancer Early Detection

• Ask your health care professional to examine your testicles as part of a routine physical exam.
• Talk with your health care professional about testicular self-exam. It is one way to get to know what is normal for you. If you notice a change, talk with your health care professional right away.
• If you have a son who was born with an undescended testicle, talk with his health care professional about correcting it before he reaches puberty.

Always talk with your health care professional about testicular self-exam

Testicular Cancer Treatment

Testicular cancer treatment depends on the stage and type of the cancer, and the size of the tumor. It also depends on whether the cancer has spread beyond the testicle. Treatment can include surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, alone or in combination.
