## Overview

[edit | edit source]

CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer.

## CT Scan

[edit | edit source]

* CT scan of the abdomen and pelvis may be helpful in the diagnosis of testicular cancer in case of metastasis.[1]
* CT scan is used to see if the cancer has spread to lymph nodes in the abdomen or chest. It can also check if testicular cancer has spread to the brain.[2][3]
