A 28 year old male presents with painless swelling in the testicle. On examination, it appears to be a rubbery, hard mass. He has no palpable abdominal masses. A testicular ultrasound confirms the diagnosis of testicular tumour, and an abdominal CT reveals normal retroperitoneal nodes. Which statement is correct with respect to this case?
a) His overall prognosis is very poor
b) The testicular mass is likely a secondary tumour
c) A needle aspiration of the tumour is indicated
d) A transcrotal approach for biopsy is contraindicated
e) He will likely require chemotherapy
