ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is looking at a new way to help doctors understand testicular tumors better using a special imaging technique called elastography. This method uses ultrasound to measure how stiff or soft a tumor is, which can help distinguish between different types of testicular tumors. The study will focus on men aged 15 to 65 who may have testicular pain or discomfort, or even those without any symptoms but have risk factors for testicular cancer.

If you're interested in participating, you would need to meet certain criteria, such as being within the age range and having a history of testicular pain or other related health issues. Participants will undergo an ultrasound elastography exam to assess the characteristics of their testicular lesions. The trial is currently not recruiting, so it’s still in the planning stages. If you have any questions about your eligibility or the study's details, it's best to speak with your healthcare provider.
