April 5, 2011 – The U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) has reaffirmed its 2004 recommendation against screening for testicular cancer in adolescent and adult males without any symptoms. This is a grade D recommendation.
The recommendation was published in the April 5 issue of Annals of Internal Medicine and is also available at: /uspstf/recommendation/testicular-cancer-screening. The USPSTF is a national, independent panel of non-Federal medical experts that makes recommendations, based on scientific evidence, to primary care doctors and other health care providers about which clinical preventive services they should offer their patients.
