What are the sequelae of interventional surgery for testicular cancer

After suffering from testicular cancer, patients are very eager to know how to treat this disease, because many diseases can be treated conservatively, which will reduce the patient's pain, but some patients in poor condition may need surgical intervention. So what are the sequelae of testicular cancer interventional surgery? Please see the following introduction.

Chemotherapy is a systemic treatment, which means that the drugs travel through the bloodstream and affect both cancer cells and normal cells throughout the body. The side effects of this treatment usually depend on the type and dose of the drug used. Common side effects include nausea, hair loss, fatigue, diarrhea, vomiting, fever, chills, cough, mouth pain, and rash. Other side effects include dizziness, numbness, poor reflexes, and hearing loss. Some cancer drugs can interfere with sperm production. In some men, infertility is permanent, but in most men, fertility returns after a short time.

Radiation therapy can interfere with sperm production, causing infertility. For some men, sperm production may be limited for a year or two before eventually healing. Three percent of patients develop duodenal ulcers and gastric mucosal prolapse. Lower extremity edema and radiation cystitis are rare. Ninety percent of patients develop a second primary tumor, 40% of which occur after 10 years.

In order to eliminate these side effects and complications, we need to combine radiotherapy with biological therapy, which can enhance the patient's sensitivity to radiotherapy, eliminate side effects, reduce complications, and ensure the efficacy of radiotherapy. Biological therapy uses molecular biology technology and cell engineering technology to improve the immunogenicity of cancer, supplement the body with a sufficient number of functional immune cells and related molecules, stimulate and enhance the body's anti-tumor immune response, and increase the sensitivity of cancer to the body's anti-cancer immune effects.

Biological therapy can induce cancer-specific and non-specific effector cells and molecules in vivo and in vitro to ultimately eliminate cancer. Therefore, biological therapy can enhance the patient's own immune system, enable the patient to recover health as soon as possible, improve the cure rate of testicular cancer, and prolong the patient's life.
