Testicular Cancer has  an excellent cure rate after surgery and radiation (seminoma) or chemotherapy (non-seminoma.)

 See the  section on radiation for seminoma.  Generally early seminoma is treated with radiation after surgery and more advanced cases with chemotherapy (see NCCN guidelines and manuscript.) For early stage seminoma, there is consideration of just close follow up or a single dose of chemotherapy (go here and here).

Radiation and chemotherapy are used for testicular lymphoma.

For non-seminomatious testicular cancers chemotherapy  is the mainstay see  NCCN chemotherapy.

You can also look at the NCI list for current research protocols, or perform your own literature search to see  current research papers on the treatment of this
cancer
