Testicular cancers are one of the least occurring male cancers, but are the most common cancer in men aged between 15 and 35 years old.
Did you know 74,000 new cases are diagnosed every year globally?
In India, testicular cancers are rare, with almost 1 in 1,00,000 men per year, but these cases are increasing in urban regions.
Men over 50 years of age are not likely to get testicular cancer.
Testicular cancer may go unnoticed in the early stages, as the symptoms are not noticeable. As the tumour spreads, the symptoms can be alarming.
It is important to detect, diagnose, and treat testicular cancer in the early stages for better treatment and to prevent the tumour growth.
We understand it is overwhelming to go through testicular cancer or see your loved one suffering from it. At NU Hospitals, we have a team of the best Uro-Oncologists in Bangalore for comprehensive, expert treatment for Testicular Cancer.

Blood tests
The tumour marker tests like alpha fetoprotein, human chorionic gonadotropin and LDH
