Cost of radiotherapy for advanced testicular cancer

How much is the cost of radiotherapy for advanced testicular cancer? Many testicular cancer patients need radiotherapy, but many people don’t know the exact cost. However, many hospitals now have non-standard charging practices, which makes people feel uneasy. So, let us now understand the cost of radiotherapy for advanced testicular cancer.

The cost of radiotherapy is not fixed. It is affected by the radiation dose, radiation time, etc., and is also related to the different charging standards of each hospital. It ranges from a few thousand to tens of thousands. It is generally around 10,000 to 30,000, and there are also 50,000 or even more, depending on the specific radiotherapy process. Here, the cost of radiotherapy accounts for a large part of the cost of testicular cancer treatment.

Radiotherapy and chemotherapy are usually only an auxiliary method of surgical treatment. Seminomas are highly sensitive to radiation, and the effect of radiotherapy is more significant. Radiotherapy for testicular cancer can be performed before or after surgery. Preoperative radiotherapy can reduce the activity of cancer cells, shrink the tumor, and facilitate surgical resection. In addition to acting on the tumor site, postoperative radiotherapy can also act on some potential lesions to prevent recurrence and metastasis. Although non-seminomas are not as sensitive to radiation as seminomas, radiotherapy still has a certain effect, and the cost is also determined by the length of time and the severity of the disease.

Usually, you should pay attention to keeping the testicles clean: you should pay attention to cleaning the testicles when you take a bath. Even if you don't take a bath, you should always clean the testicles, especially the area covered by the foreskin, to prevent bacteria from growing. The best time to self-check for testicular disease is after taking a bath, especially after washing the genitals with warm water. At this time, the skin is soft. If you touch the scrotum with your hand, if you feel dull pain, swelling, or obvious asymmetry between the left and right testicles, you should be alert and seek medical attention in time, so as to prevent testicular cancer early.
