A brief introduction to testicular cancer

Due to the fast-paced life and busy work, many people are overwhelmed by work and have no time to consider health problems. However, the body is the capital of revolutionary work, so you must take care of your body to continue working for a long time. Especially male friends, who have a lot of social activities, should pay more attention to their health. Later, let's learn about the common knowledge of testicular cancer.

First of all, the cure rate of testicular cancer is very high. Through comprehensive treatment, the survival rate can reach 95 percent or even higher.

Testicular cancer occurs in young and middle-aged people. Although the cure rate is high, it has a great impact on society and family. The treatment process of testicular tumors requires the removal of the affected testicle. The subsequent retroperitoneal lymph node dissection surgery, radiotherapy or chemotherapy will bring corresponding adverse reactions and may affect the patient's reproductive function.

Testicular cancer has no obvious symptoms in the early stage. The typical clinical manifestation is a gradually enlarging painless mass, which is discovered accidentally by the patient himself, his family or the doctor during routine examination. Half of the patients often feel that the testicles are heavy, and sometimes feel a pulling sensation in the scrotum, lower abdomen or groin, which is obvious when jumping or running. After standing for too long or being tired, local symptoms will be aggravated with a feeling of falling or mild pain. When there is an accidental collision or squeezing, the pain will be aggravated, which will attract the patient's attention and prompt him to seek medical treatment. Some patients often have symptoms similar to acute orchitis or epididymitis. After anti-inflammatory treatment, although the inflammation has been controlled, there is a mass that does not disappear. At this time, you should be alert to the possibility of testicular tumors.

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.

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.
