Abstract:
This article appraises the value of screening for testicular cancer using rigorous criteria. Testicular cancer is very rare and no benefit from self-examination has been demonstrated. There is insufficient evidence for routine screening in asymptomatic men or for educating patients to perform periodic testicular self-examination. A further article by Dr Sladden and Dr Dickinson will examine the value of screening for cancer of the prostate.
