Our doctor’s opinion on testicular cancer
As part of its quality approach, Passeportsanté.net invites you to discover the opinion of a health professional. Dr Thierry Dujardin, urologist, gives you his opinion on the testicular cancer :
Le testicular cancer is treated successfully in more than 95% of cases when it is localized to the testicle. It must therefore be detected as quickly as possible, hence the importance of teaching young men self-examination of the testicles. The side effects of these treatments are generally temporary, but require conservation of the sperm in case of consequences on fertility. Nowadays, more and more careful monitoring after testicular ablation is practiced, but it requires excellent adherence to the follow-up. It is therefore necessary to respect the appointments, which are quite close during the first two years. Dr Thierry Dujardin, urologist, CHUQ |
