Depends: It depends what you mean by treatment. A diagnosis of cancer is usually not confirmed until the testis has been removed. Sometimes no treatment is a reasonable option after removal of the testis. If a lump has been present for 15 years but not removed, then it may not be cancer at all, although it is still important to have it evaluated.
