Can you check for testicular cancer with a blood test?

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.
