Topic: Testicular cancer


  
  Testicular cancer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Testicular cancer is a type of cancer that develops in the testicles, a part of the male reproductive system.
The extent of testicular cancer and whether the cancer is present are ascertained by ultrasound (of the testicles), X-rays, and/or CT scans, which are used to locate tumors.
For stage-1 cancers that have not had any adjuvant (preventive) therapy, close monitoring for at least a year is important, and should include blood tests (in cases of nonseminomas) and CT-scans (in all cases), to ascertain whether the cancer has metastasized (spread to other parts of the body).
