Treatment and diagnostics testicular cancer in Tokyo, Japan

Testicular cancer is a malignant tumor of the testicles in men that responds well to combined therapy even at the metastatic stage. The prognosis with early diagnosis approaches 90% and decreases only slightly at later stages of the disease. Treatment of testicular cancer in Tokyo means the rich experience of oncologists and andrologists, advanced technologies, and modern drugs with a minimal number of side effects.

The condition is classified into a number of forms and stages, but all malignant tumors of the testicle are sensitive to cisplatin-based antitumor drugs.

Treatment of testicular cancer in Tokyo may include the following procedures:

• microsurgical resection of the tumor,
• excision of the regional lymph node (in case of dissemination),
• brachytherapy,
• chemotherapy.

Restoration of spermatogenesis after a course of chemotherapy is observed in almost half of men of reproductive age, but doctors in local hospitals prefer to play it safe and organize sperm cryopreservation before treatment begins.

The treatment strategy is implemented jointly with endocrinologists, rehabilitation specialists, and other specialists in allied fields — this is important for consolidating the result and preventing relapses. Before discharge, the patient receives recommendations on lifestyle changes and protection against complications of the disease.
