Clinical Guideline

Testicular Cancer PDQ®

Topic overview

NCI's evidence-based clinical reference for healthcare professionals treating testicular cancer in pediatric patients. Covers diagnostic evaluation, histologic classification, staging systems, and treatment approaches for germ cell and stromal tumors in children and adolescents.

Key Takeaways

  • Testicular cancer in children is rare but highly curable with appropriate multimodal treatment approaches.
  • Germ cell tumors are the most common testicular malignancies in pediatric patients, requiring stage-based therapy.
  • Surgical resection via radical inguinal orchiectomy is the primary treatment for most pediatric testicular tumors.
  • Risk stratification guides adjuvant chemotherapy decisions, with cisplatin-based regimens for advanced disease.
  • Long-term surveillance is essential to monitor for recurrence and treatment-related late effects in survivors.
