Screening
Routine screening is not recommended because the disease has a low incidence and is associated with good outcomes. In addition, there is no evidence to support that actively teaching young men how to perform testicular self-examination improves outcomes. It may be more effective to promote awareness among physicians about early and accurate detection of the signs of testicular problems than to carry out widespread screening.[36][64]
European guidelines recommend that men at increased risk (family history of testicular cancer, genetic predisposition, individual history of testicular cancer or cryptorchidism), should be informed about the importance of physical self-examination.[46]
