We are happy to introduce the latest ESMO guide for patients: TESTICULAR CANCER.
This type of cancer usually affects men aged 15 to 40. This oncological disease most often manifests as a lump in a testicle, pain, swelling or feeling of heavy scrotum. It usually develops in testicular cells, so-called germ cells.
