Testicular Cancer

Testicular Cancer occurs when cells that are not normal grow out of control in the testicles. It is highly curable, especially when it is found early.

Testicular cancer is most common among white males. It is not common in men of African or Asian background. Although rare, testicular cancer is the most common form of cancer in men between the ages of 20 and 34.4

Patient Care and Treatment
The Urologic Oncology Program follows a team approach to diagnosing and treating those with testicular cancer. Our patients have their situation discussed not only by our urologic oncologists and surgeons, but also by experts in radiation oncology and pathology. By having everyone involved, a personalized treatment plan is developed. All of this takes place in our Multidisciplinary Urologic Oncology Clinic.

The surgical team has expertise in retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy for testicular cancer. In addition, the program's urologists have expertise in minimally invasive surgery, robotic-assisted surgery. Learn more about robotic surgery by visiting the Robotic Surgery webpage on the UofMHealth.org website.
