Description
Summary:Testicular cancer (TCa) commonly presents as a painless scrotal mass. It has been suggested that testicular self-examination (TSE) can help in early detection and thus potentially improve treatment outcomes and prognosis. While TSE is more well established in guideline recommendations for patients with a known history of TCa, its role in healthy young men is less established and controversial. In this paper, we review contemporary data to provide an updated recommendation.
