Testicular & penile cancer treatment

The multidisciplinary team at Advocate Cancer Institute is highly skilled in treating testicular and penile cancers, including rare forms of the disease.

Treatment for testicular cancer – one of the most curable cancers – usually includes surgical removal of the affected testicle, followed by reconstructive surgery. Radiation therapy or chemotherapy also may be used to destroy any remaining cancer cells.

Our specialists also use surgery to treat penile cancers, as well as non-invasive options like cryoablation. This technique uses imaging guidance, a needle-like applicator called a cryoprobe, and liquid nitrogen or argon gas to create intense cold to freeze and kill cancerous tissue. Advocate's skilled reconstructive urologists can restore appearance for many men.
