What is Testis Cancer?

Testicular cancer occurs in one or both testicles, which are part of the male reproductive system and responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. Although relatively rare compared to other cancers, it is the most common cancer in young men between the ages of 15 and 40.
The majority of testicular cancers are germ cell tumors, classified into seminomas (slow-growing, highly treatable) and non-seminomas (faster-growing but responsive to chemotherapy). While testicular cancer is highly curable, early detection is critical. Symptoms may include a painless lump in the testicle, swelling, heaviness in the scrotum, or dull ache in the groin or abdomen.

Testis Cancer Treatment in Ahmedabad

Dr. Nitin Singhal provides a comprehensive treatment approach for testicular cancer in Ahmedabad, carefully tailored to the type and stage of the disease. Standard surgical management includes a Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy, the removal of the affected testicle, while advanced cases may require Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) to eliminate cancer-spread lymph nodes. For precision and faster recovery, he specializes in robotic and minimally invasive surgery, which reduces post-surgical pain and downtime. Depending on the type, additional treatments may include chemotherapy (highly effective in non-seminomas), radiation therapy (especially beneficial for seminomas), or surveillance programs for low-risk patients where careful monitoring replaces immediate treatment. Dr. Singhal works within a multidisciplinary care team of oncologists, radiologists, and fertility experts, while also offering fertility-preserving options and sperm banking guidance for younger men who wish to safeguard their ability to become parents in the future.

Q1. What are the early signs of testicular cancer?

👉 The most common sign is a painless lump or swelling in the testicle. Some men may also feel heaviness in the scrotum, dull abdominal or groin pain, or changes in testicle size.

Q2. How is testis cancer diagnosed?

👉 Diagnosis involves physical examination, ultrasound, tumor marker blood tests (AFP, HCG, LDH), CT scans, and orchiectomy biopsy for confirmation.

Q3. Can testicular cancer affect fertility?

👉 Yes, treatment such as orchiectomy, chemotherapy, or radiation can affect fertility. Dr. Nitin Singhal discusses fertility-preserving options like sperm banking before treatment.

Q4. Is testicular cancer curable?

👉 Testicular cancer is one of the most curable cancers, with very high survival rates, especially when detected early. Even advanced cases often respond well to chemotherapy.

Q5. Who is at higher risk of testicular cancer?

👉 Risk factors include family history, undescended testicles (cryptorchidism), previous testicular cancer, HIV infection, and young male age (15–40 years).

Stages of Testis Cancer

Stage I

At this early stage, cancer is confined to the testicle and has not spread to lymph nodes or other organs. It is the most common stage of diagnosis and has an excellent prognosis. Standard treatment is radical inguinal orchiectomy (removal of the affected testicle), followed by active surveillance in low-risk cases. With timely treatment, survival rates at this stage are over 95%, making early detection extremely important.

Stage 2

Cancer has spread from the testicle to the nearby retroperitoneal lymph nodes in the abdomen but is still contained within this region. Patients may require a combination of surgery (Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection – RPLND), chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on whether it is seminoma or non-seminoma. Regular imaging and tumor marker monitoring are crucial during and after treatment.

Stage 3

At this stage, cancer has spread beyond the lymph nodes to distant organs such as the lungs, liver, or other parts of the body. Symptoms may include persistent cough, chest pain, shortness of breath, or abdominal swelling. Treatment usually involves systemic chemotherapy combined with surgery, and in some cases, high-dose chemotherapy with stem cell transplant may be considered. Even at this advanced stage, testicular cancer remains highly treatable, with many patients achieving long-term remission.

Stage 4

This is a rare and most advanced stage where cancer has spread extensively to multiple organs such as the brain, bones, or distant lymph nodes. Patients may experience significant symptoms like severe fatigue, neurological problems, bone pain, or organ-related complications. Treatment typically requires aggressive chemotherapy, targeted therapy, and supportive/palliative care to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Despite being advanced, testicular cancer is still one of the most curable cancers in men, and survival outcomes are better compared to many other cancers.
