  1. Actually, it’s quite good. My father-in-law had testicular and prostate cancer. When my husband told our Dr. my husband was tested and so far, all his test are negative. That doesn’t mean he can’t get it down the road, but as long as there is early detection as with any cancer type, the chances are good.
    ADD I have never heard of an unborn being tested or having testicular cancer detected. Besides, the likelyhood of a newborn having testicular cancer is very unlikely if what I read is correct. For the other guy who answered, My husband had a gene test done for testicular and prostate cancer because his father had it. He had no symptoms or anything. His Dr is the one that told him to have this test because of his father. So I don’t know what you’re saying is accurate. Sorry. Unless my husband Dr is an idiot, Something I sure wouldn’t rule out.

  2. The only definitive test for testicular cancer is a tissue biopsy which is not done unless a person has signs that they already have testicular cancer. Blood tests, physical examination for lumps or other abnormalities, and ultrasound images are methods to screen for cancer, but these tests only indicate which people should follow up with a biopsy.
