Testicular Cancer

• Q.

  Where can I find testicular cancer information?

  A.

  The National Cancer Institute has extensive information for both patients and professionals about testicular cancer and its treatment. Cancer.net is also another good resource and provides information such as questions to ask your doctor. The American Cancer Society offers a Testicular Cancer Detailed Guide and Sexuality for the Man With Cancer. And finally, you can find information and online support through The Testicular Cancer Resource Center and the Testicular Cancer Society.
