What are the early symptoms of testicular cancer?

The most common symptom is a painless lump or swelling in either testicle. Other signs include a feeling of heaviness in the scrotum, a dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin, or a sudden buildup of fluid in the scrotum.

How is testicular cancer diagnosed?

Diagnosis typically involves a physical exam, a scrotal ultrasound to check for masses, and blood tests to measure tumor markers such as AFP, beta-HCG, and LDH. If cancer is suspected, surgery (orchidectomy) is performed to confirm the diagnosis and determine the type of cancer.

What is Robotic RPLND surgery?

Robotic Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) is a minimally invasive surgery to remove lymph nodes at the back of the abdomen where testicular cancer often spreads. Using robotic assistance allows for greater precision and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Can testicular cancer be cured?

Yes, testicular cancer is one of the most curable forms of cancer, especially when detected early. Even in cases where the cancer has spread to other parts of the body, high success rates are achieved through a combination of surgery and chemotherapy.

Will treatment affect my fertility?

While removing one testicle usually does not affect fertility or testosterone levels, further treatments like chemotherapy or RPLND surgery can impact sperm production. Dr. Jamal Akhtar Azmi discusses options like sperm banking with patients before starting treatment.
