What is the cure rate for testicular cancer

For patients, the cure rate has become the most concerned topic for testicular cancer patients around the world. Whether testicular cancer can be cured directly affects the confidence and will of testicular cancer patients in treatment. The early symptoms of testicular cancer are not obvious and rarely attract attention. Therefore, once discovered, the disease has already occurred, which increases the difficulty of treatment. So what is the cure rate of testicular cancer? Let's find out.

Experts remind male friends to detect testicular abnormalities early. After being diagnosed with testicular cancer in the early stage, they should undergo testicular cancer resection and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection in time. The cure rate of early testicular cancer can reach more than 90%, while that of late stage is less than 50%.

What is the cure rate of testicular cancer? Testicular cancer can be cured. And the cure rate is high, provided that it is treated early.

Testicular cancer progresses slowly and is currently the malignant solid tumor with the highest cure rate. We all know that the cure rate of testicular cancer is closely related to the treatment method selected. So what treatment methods are available for testicular cancer?

1. Surgical treatment of testicular cancer

Because the pathology of testicular tumors is extremely complex, there is no consensus on the treatment methods. However, no matter which type of testicular tumor, orchiectomy should be performed first, and further treatment will be determined based on the results of pathological examination. Common surgical resections include orchiectomy and retroperitoneal lymph node dissection.

2. Radiotherapy for testicular cancer

Radiotherapy alone can be used for stage I and IIa (maximum diameter of retroperitoneal metastatic lymph nodes less than 2 cm), and combined radiotherapy and surgery can be used for stage IIb. Radiotherapy has similar efficacy to retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, but has less damage to sexual function. Combined radiotherapy and surgery may cause more damage to sexual function, so currently chemotherapy and surgery are more advocated, and combined radiotherapy and surgery are not advocated. No mediastinal and supraclavicular preventive irradiation is performed in clinical stage II.

3. Chemotherapy for testicular cancer

Combination chemotherapy based on DDP can treat disseminated testicular germ cell carcinoma with a complete remission rate of 80%. For patients with incomplete remission, rescue chemotherapy is used, and 30% of patients can still achieve complete remission; 90% of patients with complete remission can survive long-term without cancer. If the serum marker level rises again or the residual mass increases, rescue chemotherapy will be performed. Rescue chemotherapy usually uses DDP + a combination of drugs that have not been used in the first chemotherapy. VIP and VAB-6 are currently commonly used regimens.

When treating the disease, you need to avoid eating foods that are not good for the disease, such as leeks, chrysanthemums, coriander, mustard greens, onions, etc. These foods are irritating and are not good for the disease. Therefore, choosing foods that are beneficial to the treatment and recovery of testicular cancer, making a balanced diet, and paying attention to the adjustment of the dietary structure will also improve the cure rate to a certain extent.
