Testicular cancer can affect men of any age but is most commonly seen in young males. The disease is often asymptomatic and is detected when the patient finds a painless lump in the testes. The condition is associated with a good prognosis if found and treated early. This article gives an overview of the types of testicular cancer, its symptoms, management, and complications, with a view to increasing knowledge of this malignancy among nurses and non-medical prescribers.
