Can I have a relapse of testicular cancer?

Unfortunately, yes. People who have already suffered from testicular cancer are more likely to have this type of tumor again, for example in the other testicle. This is known as recurrent testicular cancer.

For this reason, it is very important that all patients who have had testicular cancer have regular check-ups with the urologist, especially the two years after the cancer therapy has ended.
