After treatment, doctors will continue to monitor your condition for several years. According to 2021 research, between 30% and 32% of people on surveillance after surgery experience a relapse. More than 90% of relapses occur within 2 to 3 years.
There’s also a risk of other cancers developing after treatments such as chemo or radiation. These are known as second cancers. Your risk of a second cancer can increase over time, doubling after 10 years, even after your testicular cancer is successfully treated.
