Treatment of Testicular Cancer
As with many cancers, treatment involves a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy, depending on the type and spread of the original cancer. Virtually all testicular cancer is diagnosed and treated initially by surgically removing the affected testis (orchiectomy). Fortunately, the removal of one testis usually does not affect fertility. If the cancer has spread into the pelvic region or beyond, radiation or chemotherapy may be added to the treatment. Seminomas tend to respond very well to radiation therapy alone, even after the cancer has spread into the pelvis. Nonseminomas often require the addition of chemotherapy.
