Treatment for testicular cancer is usually successful. The type you have depends on the cancer and its spread. Removing the affected testicle through surgery is the main treatment. If the cancer has spread, you may need to have chemotherapy before or after surgery. Your doctor will talk to you about how inserting an artificial testicle in your scrotum will give it a normal appearance. After surgery, you will be referred to a team of specialists to decide on further treatment. If the cancer is more advanced, you may need to have the lymph nodes in your abdomen removed. The reason for this and the potential side effects will be explained to you.
