Treatments for testicular cancer
Your healthcare team will create a treatment plan just for you. The plan is based on your health and specific information about the cancer. What you want is also important when planning treatment. When deciding which treatments to offer for testicular cancer, your healthcare team will consider:
- the type of germ cell tumour (seminoma or non-seminoma)
- the stage of the cancer
- the prognosis group
- possible side effects
- your age
- your overall health
- any medical problems you have
- if fertility is important to you after treatment
- your lifestyle and what you prefer or want
Surgery is the main treatment for testicular cancer. Chemotherapy or radiation therapy may also be used.
