If you or your loved one has been diagnosed with testicular cancer, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center is ready to help. Our experienced team of doctors, nurses, and other healthcare professionals who treat testicular cancer is dedicated to providing the highest-quality diagnosis, treatment, and care for our patients.

In this section, you can find information about our expertise in treating men with testicular cancer, our services, and our research.

  • Our Approach & Expertise
    Memorial Sloan-Kettering is highly experienced in the treatment of testicular cancer, a relatively uncommon type of cancer that accounts for just 1 percent of all cancers in men.
  • Our Team of Experts
    Memorial Sloan-Kettering's multidisciplinary team of doctors includes more than 20 specialists who work together to diagnose and treat men with testicular cancer.
  • Overview
    Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumor diagnosed in men between the ages of 15 and 35.
  • Risk Factors
    So far, research has not shown a connection between testicular cancer and any particular habits, activities, or lifestyles.
  • Symptoms
    The earliest symptoms of testicular cancer typically include pain, swelling, or hardness in one of the testicles, or some combination of these symptoms.
  • Diagnosis & Staging
    Once a diagnosis has been made, tests will need to be performed to determine how far the cancer has spread in a process called staging.
  • Treatment
    Treatment of testicular cancer depends on the type of tumor found (seminoma or nonseminoma) and the stage of disease -- the size of the tumor, lymph node involvement, whether the cancer has spread, and blood marker levels.
  • Our Clinical Trials
    A continually updated listing of Memorial Sloan-Kettering's current clinical trials for testicular cancer.
  • Survivorship & Support
    In addition to doctors and nurses, other members of the healthcare team are available to help you and your family with the medical, emotional, social, and financial issues surrounding a diagnosis of cancer.
