Question:

The nurse is caring for a client who was recently diagnosed with testicular cancer. The client appears anxious and asks the nurse questions about his condition. Which of the following statements by the nurse is correct?

Answer:

A) Testicular cancer is highly treatable, and has a high survival rate.

Rational:

This type of cancer has a high rate of survival, even with metastases present. If caught early, treatment may only consist of an orchiectomy, and often just one dose of chemotherapy. However, the treatment for this condition may impact fertility, so the client must be educated on sperm banking and risk of infertility in order to make informed decisions prior to beginning cancer treatment.
