Testicular Cancer Treatment

In Karol Bagh, Delhi

Testicular cancer occurs when abnormal cells grow uncontrollably in one or both testicles. It is one of the more treatable cancers, particularly when caught early, and most commonly affects younger and middle-aged men, making self-awareness and regular checks valuable.

Symptoms

A painless lump or swelling in the testicle is the most common symptom. Other signs include a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, dull ache in the abdomen or groin, and sudden fluid buildup in the scrotum.

Causes

The exact cause is often unknown, but risk factors include an undescended testicle at birth, family history, previous testicular cancer, and certain genetic conditions. Age is also a factor, as it more commonly affects younger men.

Diagnosis

Diagnosis involves a physical examination, ultrasound of the scrotum, and blood tests for tumour markers. Surgical removal of the affected testicle is often needed to confirm the diagnosis pathologically.

Treatment

Treatment may include surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy, depending on the type and stage. M|O|C Cancer Care Center in Karol Bagh, Delhi, provides sensitive, expert care for testicular cancer with a focus on effective treatment and long-term wellbeing.
