What are the causes of testicular cancer

What are the causes of testicular cancer? The emergence of testicular cancer destroys the happiness of male friends. I believe everyone is more aware of the harm caused by testicular cancer. Therefore, we must do a good job in preventing this disease in daily life. To do a good job in preventing the disease, we need to understand the causes. So, what are the causes of testicular cancer?

As one of the most common cancers in young men, the cause of testicular cancer is not well known. According to statistics, the incidence of testicular cancer in men is 7 in 100,000, and it is increasing year by year. The cause is usually the metastasis of malignant tumors. Although many data suggest that the occurrence of testicular tumors may be related to testicular trauma, endocrine disorders, genetics and infection, there is a lack of sufficient evidence.

So far, the most convincing evidence is the relationship between incomplete testicular descent (cryptorchidism) and testicular tumors. A large amount of data confirms that the malignant transformation rate of cryptorchidism, especially abdominal cryptorchidism, is much higher than that of normal descended testicles. It is 3 to 14 times the incidence rate of normal people.

It is currently believed that factors such as testicular germ cell abnormalities, elevated temperature, blood supply disorders, endocrine disorders, and gonadal dysgenesis may be associated with the malignant transformation of cryptorchidism. The relationship between cryptorchidism and testicular tumors has attracted the attention of scholars from various countries, who emphasize that orchiopexy before the age of 6 is an effective measure to prevent the malignant transformation of cryptorchidism, and has achieved significant results.

The incidence of cryptorchidism in China is similar to that in other countries, but the proportion of cryptorchidism tumors is significantly higher than that in other countries, which may be related to the fact that testicular traction fixation surgery has not yet been widely performed on preschool children with cryptorchidism in China.

As for the causes of testicular cancer, some men's inflammation is not treated in time, or the treatment is not thorough, and male friends do not pay much attention to it in their lives, which will cause inflammatory lesions over time and lead to the occurrence of cancer. Therefore, we must pay more attention to prevention in our daily lives.
