What are the causes of testicular cancer

In recent years, the incidence of cancer has become more diverse and younger. It can be said that everyone is afraid of talking about cancer, which shows how harmful it is. However, for the human world, the reality is very cruel, and getting cancer is almost unavoidable. Today, let's talk about the causes of testicular cancer.

Clinically, we have observed that testicular tumors mostly occur in young adults aged 20 to 40, when sexual function is most active. Although they can also occur in infants and the elderly, they are less common. The age of patients with seminoma is older than that of patients with teratoma.

Testicular cancer is currently the malignant solid tumor with the highest clinical cure rate. Even for patients with testicular cancer that has metastasized, there is a high chance of clinical cure through surgery and combined radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Therefore, it is important to emphasize that the goal of testicular cancer treatment is to achieve cure, not to alleviate or prolong survival time.

We can explain the causes of testicular cancer from the following aspects:

1. Testicular malformation is the main cause of testicular cancer. Normally, male testicles will descend into the scrotum after development. If the testicles do not descend and are retained in the abdominal cavity or groin, the chance of males developing testicular cancer will greatly increase, and even surgery will not help.

2. People with abnormal testicular development are also prone to testicular cancer. If a male friend's testicles are abnormally developed, it may be due to abnormal internal structure or poor circulation, which can easily cause testicular cancer.

3. The testicles are in a high temperature state for a long time. Excessive temperature causes abnormalities in testicular germ cells, which in turn causes inflammation and sexual changes.

4. Studies have shown that the occurrence of testicular cancer is related to genetic factors. If a direct relative in the family has suffered from testicular cancer, then his chance of getting the disease is higher than others.

5. Trauma, or blood supply obstruction caused by excessive exercise, resulting in testicular abnormalities, or people with a history of testicular cancer are also prone to testicular cancer.
