Can testicular cancer be cured? How to treat testicular cancer

Early-stage testicular cancer can usually be cured clinically by surgically removing the cancerous tissue and adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The treatment of mid- to late-stage testicular cancer becomes more difficult and the prognosis becomes worse.

1. Can testicular cancer be cured?

Testicular cancer is a malignant tumor disease that is unlikely to be completely cured, but the prognosis is good with early treatment. In the early stage of testicular cancer, the tumor tissue is relatively localized and there is no distant metastasis. Timely surgical removal of the cancerous tissue, coupled with chemotherapy and radiotherapy, may achieve clinical cure and obtain good long-term results. In the middle and late stages of testicular cancer, lymph node metastasis or hematogenous metastasis may occur, which increases the difficulty of treatment and has a poor prognosis.

How to treat testicular cancer

The main treatment for testicular cancer is surgery. Radical orchiectomy is generally recommended. If there is lymph node metastasis, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection is also required. After surgery, the next treatment plan needs to be determined based on the results of pathological examination. If necessary, chemotherapy and radiotherapy are needed.
