Abstract

Abstract: Testicular cancer, though generally uncommon, is the most common cancer NPs will see in young men. Advances in surgery, radiation, and cisplatin-based chemotherapy, have made testicular cancer a "model" for a curable cancer. Survivors will likely live many years, but will require lifelong follow-up for possible recurrence and long-term treatment sequelae.
