Is there a blood test for testicular cancer?

How do you get tested for testicular cancer BEFORE its too late?

There are certain blood values that would be increased or decreased with ANY type of cancer, so a blood test would be a good idea.

I am going to a routine physical shortly, and wondering if I can request a blood test to check for any cancers, specifically testicular?
I know they do a physical check first, but if I’m not warms like you’re supposed to be when you check, will they feel anything? I’m curious about a lump, but can only feel it after a shower.

Best is ultrasound, takes 1 minute only. The tumor markers are not sensitive and specific enough.
