Yes you can have: There is no exclusive specific tumor marker for testicular cancer. Early detection is possible by awareness and examination by your physician for the cure. , .

Yes: The main presenting finding for testicular cancer is a mass on the testicle. It usually will not be very tender, but is new and noticeable. The simplest test to evaluate a testicular mass with is a flashlight to see if it is solid or hollow. A urologist will do an ultrasound to help better define. Some testic ca, s have different blood markers but these are not ordered unless ca is suspected.

Yes: Testicular cancer is rarely diagnosed by bloodworm. The most common presentation is a swollen testis or a new lump/bump on the testis.
