Metastatic workup was done: contrast-enhanced computed tomography of whole abdomen and pelvis was within normal limits. [jcmtjournal.com]
These patients should undergo a full course of antibiotics and if the swelling is not resolved after that, they should undergo further workup to exclude possible testicular tumor. [lecturio.com]

Treatment
Sometimes fertility can be interrupted by the treatments for both types of testicular germ cell tumours. For more information on fertility and cancer treatment visit our fertility info for men page. [canteen.org.au]
Treatment options include surgery, radiation and/or chemotherapy. Regular exams after treatment are important. Treatments may also cause infertility. [icd10data.com]
Treatment options include: Surveillance Surgery Radiation Chemotherapy Before any treatment starts, men should talk with their urologist about if they want to have a child. [urologyhealth.org]
These figures apply only to men who receive appropriate treatment for their cancer. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are essential. [emedicinehealth.com]
Prognosis

Prognosis of Testicular Cancer Prognosis is ranked good, intermediate or poor for non-seminoma tumors on some parameters Good prognosis is seen in: Primary testicular or retroperitoneal lesion No nonpulmonary visceral metastases low level of tumor markers [lecturio.com]
NSGCT: Patients with good-prognosis metastatic NSGCT should receive three cycles of BEP chemotherapy. [patient.info]
Cases with intermediate prognosis should be treated with cycles of chemotherapy, whilst those with poor prognosis should be treated with one cycle of chemotherapy before reassessment (those with marker decline should have continued chemotherapy cycles [teachmesurgery.com]
