= Dear John, Monthly self examination of the testicles is recommended. If you detect a "lump" it may or may not be cancer, but follow up with a physician is recommended. If suspicion warrants, a testicular ultrasound study and blood tests for testicular tumor markers can be performed. These are not necessary if your physician is confident that the lump you felt is a normal anatomic structure. More individualized care is available at the Henry Ford Hospital and its satellites (1 800 653 6568). We can also arrange local accommodations through this number if this is your need. Please bring any physicians’ notes and lab test results that you may be able to obtain. These will help us greatly. This information is provided for general medical education purposes only. Please consult your physician for diagnostic and treatment options pertaining to your specific medical condition. Sincerely; HFHS M.D.-CK *keyword: testicular self exam
