Testicular Cancer: Clinical Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment

Dear Colleagues,

Testicular cancer, though rare, remains the most common malignancy in young men. Over the past few decades, significant strides have been made in its diagnosis, treatment, and overall management, leading to remarkable survival rates. However, challenges persist in optimizing diagnostic techniques and algorithms, personalizing treatment protocols, and minimizing the long-term side effects.

This Special Issue, titled “Testicular Cancer: Clinical Advances in Diagnosis and Treatment”, gathers leading research and clinical insights from multiple disciplines, including oncology, urology, radiology, and/or reproductive medicine. Although radiology plays a pivotal role in the diagnosis and management of testicular cancer, with advanced imaging techniques being essential for both staging and guiding treatment decisions, this issue explores the latest advancements in early detection, imaging technologies, surgical innovations, and novel therapeutic approaches. Through a multidisciplinary lens, we aim to offer a comprehensive overview of the current state of testicular cancer care, highlighting both successes and areas where further progress is needed.

We invite researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals to engage with this collection of articles that drive forward the conversation on improving outcomes for patients facing testicular cancer.
