Testicular Embolism

It looks at the reasons that the disease often goes undetected, the medical treatment for the disease, and the sensitivity required by physicians and attending medical staff when treating someone with testicular carcinoma.

From the Paper:

"Researchers from Nijmegen's University Medical Center St Radboud warned that a treatment delay of more than three months for testicular carcinoma was associated with a "significantly decreased" five-year survival rate. The most commonly cited reason for this critical diagnostic delay was not monetary issues. Instead, the delay was often due to patients fear and embarrassment of the condition and the location of the condition in the body. (Health Media Ltd., 2002) One way to prevent the spread of testicular carcinoma is speedy detection and treatment. Patients must conduct self-examinations on a regular basis, of course, and take responsibility for their own health. However, after detection has been made of a suspicious testicular mass, the next step often is the procedure of testicular embolism, as performed by a hospital's radiology department."
