Question:
An adolescent male tells the nurse that he recently found out his friend has testicular cancer and he is worried he has it too. He describes a soft, movable mass that has not altered in size and is not painful. What is the nurse’s BEST response?
A
“I can’t say whether or not you could have cancer, but it is best for me to take a look and schedule you for a few tests.”
explanation
His assessment is vague and not entirely typical of testicular cancer. It is best to do follow-up with an ultrasound and possibly biopsy to make sure it’s nothing. Testicular cancer does not run in families, and most cancerous lumps are not painful.
