Testicular Cancer Innovations

Over the last 30 years, many studies have sought to discover factors associated with the development and promotion of testicular cancer. At present, however, there are few well‐established risk factors for this disease, most notably cryptorchidism and age. For the most part, the etiology of testicular cancer remains unknown.

Germ-cell tumors make up more than 90 percent of testicular cancer cases. The two sorts of germ-cell tumors – seminomas and nonseminomas – occur with about equal prevalence. Stromal tumors – Leydig cell tumors and Sertoli cell tumors – comprise about 5 percent of testicular cancers.While rare, secondary testicular cancer – cancer that has spread to a testicle from another organ – most commonly develops due to cancer of the lymphatic system (lymphoma).Treatment for testicular cancer depends on its characteristics and stage, also because the patient's overall health, preferences, and goals. Treatment options include:Surgery: the primary line of treatment for virtually all cases of seminoma is minimally invasive surgery, during which physicians remove the affected testicle and, sometimes, nearby lymph glands, as well.Radiation therapy: This treatment uses radiation to kill the cancer cells. After surgery, radiotherapy is that the standard of look after early-stage seminoma . For more advanced or recurrent cancers or those that don’t respond to chemotherapy, radiation can be used as a second line of defense. In addition, radiotherapy are often used for metastatic seminoma to alleviate pain and other symptoms.Several advanced delivery options are available for radiation to the testes, such as intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) delivered with image guidance (IGRT), using multiple beams that shape the radiation dose to match the targeted tumor.Chemotherapy: Our medical oncologists use drugs to kill the cancer cells.
