If you have been diagnosed with testicular cancer, you need a second opinion. We will ensure you get it without delay.
A second opinion can be helpful and reassuring, and it’s the best way to ensure that your diagnosis is accurate, that the recommended treatment plan is right for you, and that the urologist (surgeon) and other specialists have the training and experience to provide you the best possible outcome.
We can arrange for Roswell Park’s testicular cancer experts, including our pathologists who specialize in urinary tract cancers, to review your tests and slides, and set up a consultation with our kidney cancer team.
A second opinion is the best way to ensure that your initial diagnosis is accurate, that the recommended treatment strategy is right for you, and that the urologic surgeon and other specialists have the training and experience to provide you the best possible outcome.
Why it matters for testicular cancer
Unlike other cancers which occur most commonly in older adults, testicular cancer often affects younger men and is most frequently diagnosed in men aged 20 to 34. If you are younger than 40, this makes you a rare cancer patient with a rare cancer. This means that you:
- Need the level of expertise found only at a comprehensive cancer center.
- Should consider fertility preservation before treatment begins.
- Could benefit from our Young Adult program which offers services and support for patients in their 20s and 30s.
