Testicular cancer is a rare malignancy with approximately 8,500 new cases per year in the United States. The disease has many different presentations, and it is universally recognized that it is best treated in a Center of Excellence. Virginia Mason's testicular cancer team, in Seattle, sees the most new cases of testis cancer in Washington state, and we are driven to provide expert individualized care from nationally renowned experts in the field. The forms of therapy to treat testicular cancer include surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surveillance.

Our team meets weekly in a specialized multidisciplinary testicular cancer clinic with experts in pathology, radiology, surgery, chemotherapy and nursing. We believe the multidisciplinary approach achieves the highest standard of care and individualized treatment.

Our goal is to provide care that not only cures the patient, but also improves their quality of life after the cancer has been cured. To make sure this happens, we have specialists in fertility, endocrinology, and internal medicine to ensure our patients lead full and healthy lifestyles after treatment.
