Is testicular cancer serious? What are the treatments for testicular cancer?

Whether testicular cancer is serious depends on the pathological stage. Early testicular cancer is not serious if it is discovered and treated in time. The treatment effect of mid- to late-stage testicular cancer is not good and the condition is more serious.

1. Early testicular cancer is generally not serious

Testicular cancer is mild in the early stages. If it is discovered and treated in the early stages, the results are ideal. After comprehensive treatment of testicular cancer in the early stages, such as surgery, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy, the effectiveness rate can reach more than 90%, and the possibility of clinical cure is very high. With the continuous improvement of treatment methods, the mortality rate of early testicular cancer has dropped from 50% to about 10%, and the survival rate of patients has increased significantly.

2. Mid- to late-stage testicular cancer is more serious

If testicular cancer develops to the middle or late stage, clinical symptoms such as testicular pain and testicular swelling become obvious. At this time, whether chemotherapy or surgery is used, the effect is poor. If distant metastasis occurs, the effect will be even worse, and the patient's life may be endangered at any time.
