Physicians at the University of Minnesota were the first to test many of the markers for testicular cancer. They are skilled in the diagnosis and treatment of this disease and will work together to develop a plan that is designed just for you.

M Health Fairview Cancer Care is home to the Institute for Prostate and Urologic Cancers, created in 2005, to focus on the most common genitourinary cancers. Building on a longstanding tradition of excellence in urologic care, our team continues to pioneer preventive, diagnostic, and treatment options for our patients. We offer nerve sparing retroperitoneal lymph node dissections and have experience in surgery both before and after chemotherapy. We function within a multidisciplinary team including medical oncologist, radiation oncologists, and surgeons to make sure you receive the appropriate treatment for your testicular cancer.

Most of our providers are also members of the only National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center in the Twin Cities, the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota. This enables our doctors to participate in extensive research, including the search for new vaccines for genitourinary cancers, and stay at the leading-edge of new therapies and treatment options for patients with urologic cancers.

Our urologic surgeons use the newest model of the da Vinci® Surgical System (daVinci Xi) to perform prostatectomies and other urologic procedures. The minimally invasive approach uses the latest in surgical technology and is often ideal for both complex and delicate urologic surgeries. Robotic surgery provides surgeons with enhanced capabilities and a magnified view while offering many patients a better surgical experience.
