Testicular Cancer Clinic in Ahmedabad — Expert Diagnosis & Treatment by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumour in men aged 15 to 35 — and one of the most curable cancers of any kind when detected early. A cure rate exceeding 95% is achievable with prompt, expert treatment. At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — provides expert care at every stage of testicular cancer management.
Warning Signs — Act Immediately
- A painless lump, swelling, or hardness in one testicle
- A feeling of heaviness or dragging in the scrotum
- Dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin
- Sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
- Breast tenderness or growth (gynaecomastia)
Any change in a testicle demands immediate evaluation — not a wait-and-see approach.
Diagnosis and Staging
Testicular cancer is diagnosed through scrotal ultrasound, tumour marker blood tests (AFP, HCG, LDH), and CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The definitive treatment of the primary tumour is radical orchidectomy — performed by Dr. Prarthan Joshi at Zydus Hospitals.
Treatment After Orchidectomy
Post-orchidectomy treatment depends on tumour type and stage — options include active surveillance for low-stage disease, chemotherapy, and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. Dr. Joshi coordinates with oncology colleagues at Zydus Hospitals for every patient requiring systemic treatment.
Fertility Preservation
Sperm banking before chemotherapy is strongly recommended. Dr. Joshi discusses fertility preservation with every eligible patient at diagnosis — in collaboration with the male infertility treatment programme in Ahmedabad.
Other Urological Cancers
Dr. Joshi also manages bladder cancer in Ahmedabad, kidney cancer surgery in Ahmedabad, and prostate cancer in Ahmedabad.
