How long is the life span of chronic teratoma

The life span of a person changes with the development of society. Teratomas originate from potentially multifunctional primitive embryonic cells and are mostly benign, but the tendency to be malignant increases with age. The site of occurrence is related to the midline anterior axis or midline paracentral area of ​​the embryological body cavity, and is more common in the sacral and coccygeal region, mediastinum, retroperitoneum, and gonadal region. It is more common in newborns and infants, and more common in women. So, how long is the life span of chronic teratomas?

How long you can live is closely related to the timing and treatment of treatment. As for the life expectancy of the patient after the disease, it is determined by many factors, such as the patient's condition, treatment, and the patient's physical, mental and psychological state. Cyst, also known as cystic tumor, is a type of benign tumor. There is a capsule outside the cyst, and the capsule contains liquid substances. Tumors are divided into benign and malignant tumors. Benign tumors only increase in size and do not cause metastasis, while malignant tumors are easy to metastasize. Brain cysts and ovaries cannot be treated with drugs. If the cyst does not grow and does not affect health, expectant therapy can be used, and attention should be paid to observe changes. If it grows and affects health, it should be removed surgically as soon as possible. Generally, it can be cured after surgery. The condition varies from person to person, and it should be determined in combination with the actual situation of the patient. It is recommended that active treatment is the key. With the current medical level, it is possible to improve the quality of life of patients and prolong their survival.

Once a teratoma is formed, it will not disappear naturally, and there is no drug that can effectively treat it. Surgery is the best treatment method, and laparoscopic or open surgery can be selected. Laparoscopic surgery is especially effective for medium-sized benign teratomas. If the preoperative serological test shows that the alpha-fetoprotein is high, it is suspected to be a malignant teratoma or a large teratoma, and open surgery should be selected.
