Can early testicular cancer be cured?

Testicular cancer is a disease that is very harmful to patients. Many men have lost their family happiness because of this disease. There are many treatment options for testicular cancer in clinical practice, but patients need to choose a reasonable treatment plan based on their own situation. The early treatment effect of testicular cancer is better. Can testicular cancer be cured in the early stage?

Any testicular cancer should be treated with high orchiectomy first, and then the treatment plan should be selected according to the pathological type and clinical stage. Spermatogonia are highly radiosensitive, and a lower dose can eliminate metastatic lesions without causing obvious radiation damage. For clinical stage I testicular seminoma, after high testicular removal, the ipsilateral iliac lymph nodes and retroperitoneal lymph nodes should be preventively irradiated. Linear accelerator high-energy rays, 60Co and kilovoltage X-rays can all be used as external radiation sources, but high-dose preventive irradiation is not necessary.

Testicular seminoma is sensitive to a variety of anti-tumor drugs. my country's first N-formyl sarcolytic agent is used to treat testicular seminoma. 150-200 mg is taken every night before bedtime, and 6-8 g is a course of treatment. The total effective rate is 90%, of which 2/3 are completely relieved. Recently, combined chemotherapy is mainly used, and the cure rate of stage III cases has reached more than 90%.

Because the pathology of testicular tumors is extremely complex, there is no consensus on the treatment method. However, no matter which type of testicular cancer, orchiectomy should be performed first, and further treatment should be decided based on the results of pathological examination. Combination chemotherapy with DDP as the main treatment for disseminated testicular germ cell carcinoma has a complete remission rate of 80%. For those with incomplete remission, rescue chemotherapy can be used. Thirty percent of patients can still achieve complete remission, so patients should actively treat this disease.
