A large mass in one testicle but PSA tests are normal. Is testivular cancer likely ?

    The PSA test is only a rough indicator of cancer. The negative PSA test lowers the odds of the mass being cancer, but it does not completely rule out cancer. I would guess that a biopsy or imaging might be needed to see if cancer can be ruled out. A person in this situation should insist on getting better information than a PSA test to diagnose the mass.

    PSA is not for your testicles; it's for the prostate. You should be getting blood work and seeing a urologist immediately, especially if this is new. Without an exam by a professional, there is no way to tell or even speculate on what is going on.

    Prudent* to see a general surgeon*/ NO INSURANCE MEANS YOU MAY CONSULT A local homeopath [for less costs]/dermatologist for physical examination, relevant investigations, accurate diagnosis and permanent cure by medication and or surgical interference.

    Because, in all chronic issues with complicated & confusing symptoms-involving many organs, I prefer a General Surgeon, who shall be accurate in arriving at the right diagnosis by pin-pointing the affected organ[s]/tissues and ensures fast relief with surgical interference.

    Much before the advent of super-specialties like nuero/pediatric/cardiac/renal/gynec/brai... gastro-enterology, oncology, and ENT etc., all these surgeries were conducted by general surgeons. Hence, a Surgeon’s approach is most appropriate and accurate. A good surgeon suggests cheapest and accurate diagnostic investigations only to ensure permanent cure.

    Whereas, for all acute problems/issues, a physician hits the symptoms/diseases with say, 10 stones/medicines with the hope that a few stones may hit with dramatic relief. But, it does work in many cases & with ‘no side effects’.

    Testicular cancer is terribly painful. It could be a benign tumor.
