 ==Staging==
-After removal, a testicular tumor is staged by a [[pathologist]] according to the [[TNM|TNM Classification of Malignant Tumors]] as published in the [[American Joint Committee on Cancer|AJCC]] Cancer Staging Manual.  Testicular cancer is categorized as being in one of three [[Cancer staging|stages]] ([[TNM|which have subclassifications]]).  The size of the tumor in the testis is irrelevant to staging. [http://www.cancerstaging.org/cstage/CSPart1Manual.pdf]  In broad terms, testicular cancer is staged as follows:
-*Stage I: the cancer remains localized to the [[testis]].
-*Stage II: the cancer involves the testis and [[metastasis]] to [[Retroperitoneum|retroperitoneal]] and/or [[Paraaortic lymph node]]s ([[lymph node]]s below the [[Urogenital diaphragm|diaphragm]]).
-*Stage III: the cancer involves the testis and [[metastasis]] beyond the [[Retroperitoneum|retroperitoneal]] and [[Paraaortic lymph node]]s.  Stage III is further subdivided into nonbulky stage III and bulky stage III. [http://tcrc.acor.org/staging.html]
