Testicular Cancer
Testicular cancer is highly treatable. Still, outcomes vary greatly depending on where you go for care. At Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University, we’re experts in testicular cancer.
Why Winship for Your Testicular Cancer
The relative five-year survival rate for testicular cancer is one of the highest of all cancer types, but that doesn’t mean it can be treated just anywhere.
After all, there’s a lot more to testicular cancer outcomes than survival rates, such as quality of life, fertility and sexual function. That’s why you want to go to a cancer center with the experience and expertise to treat your cancer as completely as possible while also minimizing side effects.
Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University’s genitourinary cancer program specializes in testicular cancer and treats more testicular cancers than any other center in the state. We also have unparalleled surgical expertise and access to the newest cancer drugs through our Phase 1 clinical trials. We’ll diagnose and treat your cancer with the newest technology and the most innovative techniques, so you never have to wonder if you’re getting the best care available.
