Can sacrococcygeal teratoma be cured?

Sacrococcygeal teratoma is a benign (partially malignant) tumor that grows from the coccyx to the inside and outside of the sacrum. In embryology, teratoma originates from omnipotent primitive endoderm germ cells, but may contain tissues originating from all three germ layers, including skin components (such as skin), muscle, glial tissue, intestinal mucosa and pancreas. So, can sacrococcygeal teratoma be cured?

1. Surgical treatment

Once a teratoma is diagnosed, surgery should be performed as soon as possible. If a teratoma is diagnosed as a malignant tumor, it is an abnormal lesion formed when a cell in a local tissue loses normal regulation of its growth at the genetic level under the influence of various carcinogenic factors, resulting in abnormal clonal proliferation. In such cases, chemotherapy should be performed before surgery to create conditions for elective surgery.

2. Chemotherapy

For mixed teratomas, only phenylbutyrate nitrogen can be taken orally for 12 weeks. For malignant teratomas, chemotherapy should be given after surgical resection.

3. Immunotherapy

Transfer factor, 1-2 times a week, 1 vial each time. Or use short anaerobic bacteriocin at the same time, starting from 0.1ml/time, once a week, increasing by 0.1ml each time, until 2ml/time, for 2 years.

4. Radiation therapy

It is hoped that patients with sacrococcygeal teratoma will treat their teratoma according to their own condition to avoid the teratoma affecting their body or having incurable consequences. Moreover, when treating teratoma, patients must relax and accept treatment.

For the treatment of sacrococcygeal teratoma, we still mainly choose surgery, and removing the tumor before it spreads is the best treatment strategy. Therefore, timely detection of sacrococcygeal teratoma is very critical. I hope you can understand the importance of this point and learn more about the external manifestations of teratoma to ensure that you can detect its existence in time. Active treatment has a good prognosis and the probability of recurrence is not high.
