Testicular Cancer – Early Detection and Advanced Treatment by Dr. Premkumar K

Testicular Cancer is a malignancy that develops in one or both testicles, the male reproductive glands responsible for producing sperm and testosterone. Although relatively rare, it is one of the most curable cancers when detected early. Dr. Premkumar K, an expert in Uro-Oncology and Reconstructive Urology, offers comprehensive evaluation and evidence-based treatment for all stages of testicular cancer with a focus on preserving fertility, hormonal function, and overall quality of life.

• Risk Factors – Undescended testis (cryptorchidism), family history, prior testicular cancer, genetic predisposition, or abnormal testicular development.

• Common Symptoms – Painless lump or swelling in the testicle, dull ache in the groin or lower abdomen, heaviness in the scrotum, or sudden fluid collection (hydrocele).

• Diagnosis – Includes physical examination, ultrasound of the scrotum, blood tests for tumor markers (AFP, β-hCG, LDH), and imaging like CT scans for staging and metastasis evaluation.

• Primary Treatment – Radical Inguinal Orchiectomy (surgical removal of the affected testicle) is the first-line treatment. The removed tissue is examined to determine the cancer type (seminoma or non-seminoma).

• Advanced and Metastatic Cases – Managed through a combination of chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or Retroperitoneal Lymph Node Dissection (RPLND) for complete disease control.

• Fertility Preservation – Patients are counseled on sperm banking and hormonal health before treatment, ensuring reproductive potential is maintained whenever possible.

With advanced surgical techniques and personalized oncology care, Dr. Premkumar K ensures optimal outcomes with minimal side effects. Early detection and timely management play a vital role in achieving complete recovery and long-term survival.

If you notice any lump or swelling in the testis, it’s essential to seek medical attention promptly. Schedule your consultation with Dr. Premkumar K for expert evaluation and Testicular Cancer Treatment with compassionate, state-of-the-art care.
