Can testicular cancer be cured?

According to the National Cancer Institute, most testicular cancers can be cured — even if they are diagnosed at an advanced stage.

Testicular cancer most often begins in the germ cells that make sperm. It is rare overall but is most frequently diagnosed in men ages 20 to 34.

Outcomes depend on the individual situation, including the specific type and stage. Your healthcare team is the best source of information about what a diagnosis means for you and what treatment options are available.
