Is the mortality rate of testicular cancer high?

Due to the increasing incidence of testicular cancer, many people have begun to pay attention to testicular cancer, especially the mortality rate of testicular cancer. Everyone is very curious about whether testicular cancer means death according to current medical knowledge and what the mortality rate is. So today we will take you to understand whether the mortality rate of testicular cancer is high.

First of all, we should understand what kind of disease testicular cancer is:

Testicular cancer is one of the most common tumors in urology. It is almost always malignant, and there are three peaks in the age of onset: yolk sac tumors (infantile embryonal tumors) are the most common in infancy, various types of testicular tumors can be seen between the ages of 20 and 40, but seminomas are still the most common, and seminomas are the main tumors after the age of 70. The cause of the disease is still unknown, and it is currently believed that its onset is related to both genetic and acquired factors. Among them, it is most closely related to cryptorchidism, and the chance of cryptorchidism developing tumors is 10 to 14 times greater than that of normal people.

So is the mortality rate of this disease high? The mortality rate of testicular cancer mainly depends on the severity of the disease. Some patients' testicular cancer is in the early stages and the cure rate is very high. As long as they seek medical treatment in time and actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment, they will not die. Some patients' conditions have deteriorated rapidly and they cannot cooperate with the doctor's treatment well. They always manage their lives according to their own habits. These patients have the highest mortality rate among all testicular cancer patients.

The mortality rate for patients in the middle and early stages of testicular cancer is not high. Under normal circumstances, it can be cured if treated actively. Patients in the late stages of testicular cancer also have a certain chance of cure if they receive timely treatment and carry out daily conditioning according to the doctor's instructions during treatment. Only a few patients will die from testicular cancer, so the mortality rate of testicular cancer is not high.
