Some of the current clinical trials for testicular cancer are investigating the following areas:
- Can family genes increase the risk of testicular cancer.
- Substances in the body which can be used to measure cancer (biomarkers)
- Different doses of chemotherapy given over different periods of time
- Reducing the number of CT scans performed after treatment as follow up scans.
- Reducing treatment
- Comparison of different treatments in specific settings
- Prevention and monitoring of long-term effects of chemotherapy.
If you do agree to take part in a clinical trial, you can still opt out whenever you want without affecting your care or treatment.
