[Cured of testicular cancer].
Nowadays, testicular cancer can be cured in more than 90 % of patients. Most patients we see now as "cured" of testicular cancer were treated either with chemotherapy or with radiotherapy. We detail the complete remission criteria and the follow-up procedure. We describe the long term toxicities of treatments, the risk of second cancer and the carryover of the disease and treatments on long term quality of life, sexuality and fertility.
