Treatment Options for Testicular Cancer

Specific treatment for testicular cancer will be determined by your physician based on:

  • Your age, overall health, and medical history
  • Extent of the disease
  • Your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
  • Expectations for the course of the disease
  • Your opinion or preference

There are several types of treatments for testicular cancer, including:

Chemotherapy

The use of anticancer drugs to shrink or kill cancerous cells and reduce cancer spreading to other parts of the body.

High-dose chemotherapy followed by stem cell transplantation: Removing stem cells from the patient's bone marrow or blood stream before chemotherapy and re-infusing them into the patient to help in production of healthy blood cells.

External radiation (external beam therapy)

A treatment that sends precise high levels of radiation directly to the cancer cells.

Nerve-sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissection 

Radical inguinal orchiectomy surgery

A surgical procedure to remove the tumor and the testicle.

Various treatments for testicular cancer may affect fertility and sexual function, so it is important to discuss thoroughly with your doctor.
