[…] If the affected testicle is not necrotic and does not require removal, surgical detorsion and orchiopexy are the treatments of choice. Surgery should be done within six hours of presentation when the testicular salvage rate is approximately 90%. […] Surgical exploration is required if the diagnosis is uncertain. […] Treatment is supportive with analgesics, and resolution usually occurs in one week. […] All patients should receive supportive care, including nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, bed rest, and scrotal elevation.

  If your doctor suspects testicular cancer after conducting diagnostic tests, he or she recommends surgery to remove the testicle in which the tumor was found. […] Surgeons use a radical inguinal orchiectomy to remove both early and more advanced testicular tumors. For men with larger tumors, doctors may recommend chemotherapy before surgery. […] When a testicle is removed, a prosthetic testicle made of saltwater encased in a silicone shell may be inserted in its place for cosmetic reasons, if you wish. […] If laboratory tests after a radical inguinal orchiectomy indicate that a tumor is likely to metastasize, or spread to other parts of the body, you may need additional surgery. […] A combination of the surgeries to remove the testicle and abdominal lymph nodes may cure many early nonseminoma tumors. Research shows that men with advanced testicular cancer who have lymph node surgery after chemotherapy may be able to further reduce the risk of cancer recurrence. […] If you are concerned about a loss of fertility, our experts can refer you to NYU Langones Fertility Center and NYU Langone Reproductive Specialists of New York, where specialists can advise you on banking or freezing sperm before surgery.

  Surgery to remove the affected testicle is called a radical inguinal orchiectomy.

[…] We can place testicular prostheses or artificial testicles in your scrotum to replace the one that was removed during your surgery. […] Radiation therapy can also interfere with sperm production. Many patients regain their fertility 1 to 2 years after treatment. If you are concerned with fertility speak, with your doctor about your options. […] Chemotherapy for testicular cancer is the use of powerful anticancer medicines that kill many of the cancer cells. […] Men with one healthy testicle still achieve normal erections and produce sperm, and in most cases fertility is also preserved. Because of the possibility that men who have lymph node removal, radiation, or chemotherapy will no longer be fertile, patients may opt to freeze and store sperm prior to treatment.

Your provider may recommend this treatment after surgery to remove an affected testicle. […] Most cases of early testicular cancer can be cured. And even if the disease spreads beyond the testicle, it still may be curable. But you’ll need follow-up care to watch for signs that the cancer has come back.

Radiation might be used after surgery to prevent the tumor from returning. Usually, radiation is limited to the treatment of seminomas. […] Chemotherapy uses drugs such as cisplatin, bleomycin, and etoposide to kill cancer cells. Chemotherapy has improved the survival rate for people with both seminomas and non-seminomas. Depending on your cancer, you may receive chemotherapy instead of surgery. It may be used before an RPLND procedure or after a radical inguinal orchiectomy. Chemotherapy may also be used to treat cancer that’s returned (recurred) following remission.

  Before 1970, survival rates from testicular cancer were low. Since the introduction of adjuvant chemotherapy, chiefly platinum-based drugs like cisplatin and carboplatin, the outlook has improved substantially. […] Radiation may be used to treat stage II seminoma cancers, or as adjuvant (preventative) therapy in the case of stage I seminomas, to minimize the likelihood that tiny, non-detectable tumors exist and will spread. […] Chemotherapy is the standard treatment for non-seminoma when the cancer has spread to other parts of the body (that is, stage 2B or 3). […] As an adjuvant treatment, the use of chemotherapy as an alternative to radiation therapy in the treatment of seminoma is increasing, because radiation therapy appears to have more significant long-term side effects. […] Treatment of testicular cancer is one of the success stories of modern medicine, with sustained response to treatment in more than 90% of cases, regardless of stage.
