Results and Quality of Life

Testicular Cancer

ROC Clinic's medical team has extensive experience in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease. Also dedicated to research in testicular cancer, our professionals provide individualized treatment with great surgical specialization, ensuring excellence in the care of each patient.

The standard treatment for testicular tumor isradical orchiectomy via the inguinal route, i.e. removal of the testicle through an incision in the groin to avoid opening the skin of the scrotum and to avoid changing the lymphatic drainage that would cause tumor cells to come out.In the same surgery, the implantation of a testicular prosthesis can be performed, which does not bring extra comorbidity or deteriorate the oncologic results.

Once the testicle has been removed, it is referred to anatomic pathology to determine the type of lesion and to consider subsequent treatment. Although this is not usually necessary in early stages of the disease, it is recommended in some types of tumors or if the cancer has left the testicle.

In patients with tumors in both testicles or who have only one testicle, with normal testosterone levels, conservative surgery is performed as long as the tumor does not occupy more than 1/3 of the testicular volume. It consists of excision of the tumor only, preserving the rest of the testicle.

In addition, a retroperitoneal lymphadenectomy will be performed to remove the metastatic lymph node mass or lymph nodes surrounding the great vessels.

On the other hand, chemotherapy offers very good results in testicular cancers, so good results are obtained with the administration of chemotherapy. Radiotherapy is only useful in seminomatous tumors because of their high radiosensitivity.

Multidisciplinary teams

In recent years, the management of many medical conditions, especially cancer, has been carried out with teams made up of different specialties involved in the diagnosis and treatment of the disease. The formation of multidisciplinary committees, in addition to ensuring comprehensive care for each person with testicular cancer, has shown improvement in patients.

When it comes to cancer, time is of the essence and every decision can make a critical difference in treatment planning. That's why at ROC Clinic, once diagnosed, our patients benefit from a comprehensive consultation service under a multidisciplinary approach that brings together the latest in research, technology and the expertise of the best professionals. We bring together disease-focused surgeons, oncologists, radiologists and pathologists to perform a comprehensive evaluation of each case and assess treatment options. Our goal is that this collaborative approach allows our patients to clarify all their doubts in the consultation, to have a solid treatment plan and to have the confidence that they have a group of specialists focused on their disease at their disposal.

This medical care model has led us to be among the best Urology services in the Spanish healthcare system.
