Testicular Cancer: Key issues in diagnosis, treatment and follow up
Testicular cancer is the most commonly diagnosed malignancy in men aged under 40 years. Men presenting with a testicular lump and a solid intratesticular lesion on ultrasound need an urgent urology referral as most types of testicular cancer are rapidly progressing. Eliciting red flags for metastatic disease and discussing fertility are key issues in the early diagnostic process. Testicular cancer survivors should be monitored for relapse, cardiovascular disease, secondary malignancy and hypogonadism.
