What is a common test in the detection of testicular cancer?

A common test for the detection of testicular cancer is a scrotal ultrasound. This imaging technique uses sound waves to create pictures of the testicles and can help identify abnormalities, such as tumors. Additionally, blood tests to measure tumor markers like AFP (alpha-fetoprotein) and HCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) may be conducted to support the diagnosis. If cancer is suspected, a biopsy may be performed to confirm the presence of cancerous cells.
