Why does testicular cancer recur?

Testicular cancer causes great harm to patients, but this disease is treatable, and the earlier the treatment, the better the effect. In fact, there are many patients with testicular cancer, and most patients are extremely painful. What makes patients even more afraid is the recurrence of testicular cancer. So why does testicular cancer recur? The reasons are as follows.

The risk factors of testicular cancer may be related to individual factors, including age, race, age at puberty, occupation and other factors such as height, weight, and the presence or absence of testicular trauma. Individual differences in these factors may lead to testicular tumors.

The occurrence of testicular tumors may be related to testicular trauma, endocrine disorders, genetics and infection, but there is insufficient evidence. So far, the most convincing is the relationship between incomplete testicular descent (cryptorchidism) and testicular tumors. 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 tumors has attracted the attention of scholars from all over the world, who emphasize that testicular fixation before the age of 6 is an effective measure to prevent cryptorchidism from becoming malignant, and has achieved significant results. The incidence of cryptorchidism in China is similar to that in other countries, but the proportion of cryptorchid tumors is significantly higher than that in other countries, which may be related to the fact that testicular traction fixation has not yet been widely performed on cryptorchid children before school age in China.

Bad living habits are also an important factor leading to testicular cancer. Try to avoid bad behaviors such as smoking and drinking. Also pay attention to your diet and do not eat high-fat foods, or grilled, fried, deep-fried, or overly greasy foods.
