About testicular cancer
Testicular cancer mainly affects young men between 15 and 40 and is one of the most curable solid cancers, even when it has spread. Treatment starts with surgical removal of the affected testis, followed by surveillance, chemotherapy, or radiation depending on type and stage.
Signs to watch for
A painless lump or swelling in a testis
A feeling of heaviness in the scrotum
Dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin
Sudden fluid collection in the scrotum
Breast tenderness (hormone-producing tumours)
Most of these have other causes too. If one lasts, see a doctor.
Who is at higher risk
Undescended testis (even after correction)
Family or personal history of testicular cancer
Certain intersex conditions
Age 15-40
Having a risk factor doesn’t mean you will get cancer.
How it’s diagnosed
Scrotal ultrasound plus tumour markers (AFP, beta-hCG, LDH) establish the diagnosis; CT staging follows. Biopsy through the scrotum is avoided — diagnosis is confirmed at surgery.
Many of these tests can be arranged by your CION team in Sangareddy.
Treatment options
Your plan depends on the type and stage of the cancer and on your overall health. CION’s tumour board agrees on it with you.

One healthy testis usually maintains hormones and fertility. Sperm banking before chemotherapy is offered as a precaution, and prosthesis placement is possible.
2Why not biopsy the lump first?
Cutting into the scrotum risks spreading tumour cells along a new path. Ultrasound and blood markers are reliable, and the testis is removed through the groin as both diagnosis and treatment.
3Is it curable if it has spread?
Testicular cancer responds exceptionally well to chemotherapy, and cure is the goal even in many metastatic cases.
