title: Testicular cancer survivorship.
abstract: Because of a rising incidence of, and declining mortality from, testicular cancer, there are an increasing number of survivors of testicular cancer. Given their young age at diagnosis, the survivors have many years of life ahead of them during which they may experience adverse consequences from cancer and its treatment. Over the past few decades and particularly in this century, research into the short- and long-term effects of treatments of testicular cancer has grown rapidly, and now there exist a much greater body of data to help us counsel patients about the risks and side effects of these treatments.
