Dr Carla Perna uses advanced therapies and a patient-centred approach, creating tailored treatment plans and ensuring men feel supported, informed, and reassured at every stage of their care.
Testicular cancer develops in the male reproductive glands and is most common in younger men. It often presents with a lump, swelling, or discomfort.

Oligometastatic cancer refers to cancer that has spread but only to a limited number of sites, offering more opportunities for targeted treatment.

Every patient’s cancer is different, and several treatment options may be available. Dr Carla Perna takes time to explain what each option involves, including potential benefits and risks, before guiding patients toward the treatment most suitable for their specific case. The choice is always made together, ensuring the patient feels confident and informed.
Targeted therapies are treatments designed to attack specific cancer cells while sparing much of the surrounding healthy tissue. They focus on the genes, proteins, or environment that cancer cells depend on to grow and survive. These therapies can be more precise than traditional treatments and are often used alongside other approaches to improve outcomes.
Finishing cancer treatment does not mean the journey ends. Patients continue to see their oncologist for up to five years in follow-up appointments. These visits ensure progress is carefully monitored, while also supporting patients in maintaining healthy habits such as regular exercise, a balanced diet, and emotional well-being, all essential for living a healthy and fulfilling life after treatment.
