How is testicular cancer treated? what are the side effects of treatment?

Surgery first: Initial treatment invovles testicular removal. Thereafter, depending on the stage & type of cancer, patients may need chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy. Even advacned cancers can be very successfully treated. Side effects are typically that seen with radiotherapy and chemotherapy but are of limited duration with good recovery.

Removal of testicle: In early stages depending on type, surgery is the first treatment and may be followed by radiation, chemo or observation. Chemotherapy for advanced stages. Fortunately this is a very curable cancer even in advances stages.
