Failure to Diagnose Testicular Cancer – Misdiagnosis of Late Diagnosis

What Is Testicular Cancer?

Testicular cancer is a common cancer in men who are aged 15 years old to 45 years old, and it is a curable malignancy with early detection and treatment.¹ Testicular cancer affects the testicles of men, but it has a high cure rate and survival rate, if it is caught in time. There are many common risk factors that can contribute to a person having testicular cancer, including:

• Cryptorchidism
• Family history of testicular cancer
• Personal history of testicular cancer
• Age
• Testicular trauma
• High maternal estrogen levels
• Carcinoma in situ
• Extragonadal germ cell tumor
• Human papillomavirus
• Epstein-Barr virus
• Cytomegalovirus
• Parvovirus B-19
• Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)
• Brothers or close relative with the disease

How Is Testicular Cancer Diagnosed?

Testicular cancer can be diagnosed in a number of ways, but it will start with a visit to your primary care doctor or healthcare provider for a detailed physical exam. Your medical history will be discussed in this visit, as well as any history of medical issues related to the testicles. The doctor should request testicular imaging with trans-scrotal ultrasound, which can offer a high level of identification of a testicular cancer in a person. The testicular cancer will be suspected to be present, when the ultrasound shows:¹

• Hypoechoic lesions
• Solid lesions
• Vascularized intratesticular lesions

If you are at the stage of life to start a family, you may be advised on the information to use a sperm bank to allow starting a family later with options, after you have had a full medical referral and have sustained and undergone any necessary treatments for a testicular cancer diagnosis.

Why Do Doctors Fail to Diagnose Testicular Cancer at Alarming Rates?
