摘要
Testis cancer is rare and rapidly progressive but can almost always be cured. Early detection and prompt treatment by an experienced clinician are the cornerstones of successful management. A delay in diagnosis and inadequate or inappropriate treatment increase the risk of death. The author reviews risk factors, diagnostic features, and current treatment.
