Please do not worry..This is likely stage 1 yolk sac tumor of testis based on pathology report.Curable in more than 90-95% cases.So do not worry. Where are u located? I could suggest center to get treatment in and around
Next Steps
please get a contrast enhanced CT scan of thorax plus abdomen plus pelvis and blood tests which includes serum beta HCG, LDH,Alpha feto protein. These tests would further confirm the stage. depending on the results of these tests..he may require further treatment in form of Chemotherapy.
