Treatment
Specific treatment for testicular cancer will be determined by your physician based on:
- your age, overall health, and medical history
- extent of the disease
- your tolerance for specific medications, procedures, or therapies
- expectations for the course of the disease
- your opinion or preference
There are several kinds of treatments for testicular cancer, including:
- surgery (to remove the tumor and the testicle)
- radiation therapy (to destroy cancer cells or slow the rate of growth)
- chemotherapy, or systemic therapy (drugs are used to destroy cancer cells throughout the body)
- stem cell transplantation - removing stem cells from the patient's or a donor's bone marrow and re-infusing them into the patient to help in production of healthy blood cells.
