Brief introduction to testicular cancer overview

With the continuous development of society and the continuous improvement of living standards, people have gradually lived a comfortable life and no longer worry about food and clothing. However, various diseases have also come along with it. The diversification and younger age of diseases have become a cruel fact, and many people may be suffering from diseases. Below I will give you an overview of the disease of testicular cancer.

Testicular cancer occurs in testicular tissue, has a complex pathological origin, and is relatively rare clinically, accounting for about 1% of all male malignant tumors. The main incidence population is young men in their fertility peak, so it has a relatively large impact on society. However, the cure rate of testicular cancer is very high, with a survival rate of 95% or even higher. Therefore, in the field of oncology, testicular cancer is a very important malignant tumor.

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 is the relationship between incomplete testicular descent (cryptorchidism) and testicular tumor occurrence. 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 related to the malignant transformation of cryptorchidism. The relationship between cryptorchidism and testicular tumor occurrence has attracted the attention of scholars from various countries, emphasizing 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 China has not yet generally performed testicular traction fixation on children with cryptorchidism before school age.

As one of the most common cancers in young men, the cause of testicular cancer is not well known. According to statistics, the incidence rate of testicular cancer in men is 7 per 100,000, and it is increasing year by year. The cause is usually the metastasis of malignant tumors.
