TESTICULAR CANCER TREATMENT PROFILER

Testicular cancer is highly treatable but you need to know your treatment options. The Testicular Cancer Treatment Profiler decision support tool helps you understand how your diagnosis, test results, and medical history affect your treatment options. Your free Treatment Options Report will include descriptions of treatments, side effects, and questions to ask your doctor…customized for your unique diagnosis. Your personal medical information will never be shared and the information and recommendations are based on scientific medical journals and constantly updated by experts in testicular cancer research and treatments. To get a better idea you can also view a sample questionnaire from the Testicular Cancer Treatment Profiler.

TESTICULAR CANCER EXPERTS

The Testicular Cancer Resource Center maintains a list of "Testicular Cancer Experts". It is important to know that each year, in the U.S., there are approximately 8500 cases of testicular cancer diagnosed and according to the American Board of Medical Specialties there are approximately 11,700 board certified urologists. This means that not every urologist may be the most experienced in treating testicular cancer because there just aren't that many cases to go around. Some urologists may only treat a few cases a year or even less. While testicular cancer treatments are fairly straight forward there are instances when seeking care from an "expert in testicular cancer" may be warranted. The Testicular Cancer Society suggests that if you are diagnosed in an advanced stage or you appear to not be responding to initial treatments that you should consider contacting a physician that has expertise in the testicular cancer field.
