Testicular Cancer Clinic in Ahmedabad — Expert Diagnosis, Surgery & Treatment by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
Testicular cancer is the most common solid tumour in men between 15 and 35 years of age — and one of the most curable cancers of any kind when detected early. A painless testicular lump, swelling, or change in consistency discovered early and treated promptly carries a cure rate exceeding 95% with modern 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 of Testicular Cancer
- A painless lump, swelling, or hardness in one testicle
- A feeling of heaviness or dragging in the scrotum
- A dull ache in the lower abdomen or groin
- Sudden collection of fluid in the scrotum
- Breast tenderness or growth (gynaecomastia) — from hormone-secreting tumours
Any man who notices a change in his testicle should seek evaluation immediately — not in a few weeks, not after watching it for a month. Immediately.
Diagnosis & Staging
Testicular cancer is diagnosed and staged through scrotal ultrasound, tumour marker blood tests (AFP, HCG, LDH), and CT scan of the chest, abdomen, and pelvis. The definitive diagnosis and treatment of the primary tumour is radical orchidectomy — surgical removal of the affected testicle through an inguinal incision, performed by Dr. Prarthan Joshi at the testicular cancer clinic in Ahmedabad.
Treatment
Following orchidectomy, treatment depends on the tumour type (seminoma or non-seminoma) and stage. Options include active surveillance for low-stage disease, chemotherapy, and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) for selected cases. Dr. Joshi coordinates with oncology colleagues at Zydus Hospitals to ensure every patient receives a comprehensive, stage-appropriate treatment plan.
Fertility Preservation
For young men about to undergo chemotherapy or bilateral surgery, sperm banking is strongly recommended before treatment begins. Dr. Prarthan Joshi discusses fertility preservation with every eligible patient at the time of diagnosis — in collaboration with the male infertility treatment in Ahmedabad programme at Zydus Hospitals.
