Early Detection in Testicular Cancer
Tracking # 20-1124046
Course overview
Testicular cancer (TC) most commonly strikes at a time when men are in the prime of their lives, between the ages of 15 and 34 (National Cancer Institute [NCI], 2023a). It is during this time that many ignore preventive healthcare. Early diagnosis, treatment, education, and follow-up are essential for young men to facilitate detection and avoid advanced-stage disease. The goal of this course is to provide clinicians with current information about the etiology, risk factors, detection, and diagnostic workup for testicular cancer. Treatment modalities and prognosis of testicular cancer are covered in this course, in addition to practical patient teaching strategies.
