Testicular cancer is highly treatable. Regardless of types and stages, testicular cancer is treated with surgery (orchiectomy) during which the testicle with cancer is removed. Additional treatment options, such as chemotherapy and radiation oncology, are dependent on the type of testicular cancer.

How is testicular cancer diagnosed?

You or your doctor may discover a testicular lump by performing a physical exam or self-examination. To determine whether the lump is cancerous, your doctor may recommend a testicular ultrasound, a CT (computerized tomographic) scan or blood tests.
