Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The surgical removal of the affected testicle (radical inguinal orchiectomy) is the recommended first step in the treatment of testicular cancer. This allows for a sample of the tumor to be examined further, and it helps prevent the cancer from spreading to other parts of the body. Other treatments may be necessary following the surgery, depending on the stage and type of cancer.
