Testicular Cancer (Malignant Neoplasm of Testis) — Diagnosis and Treatment
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Testicular cancer is an uncommon malignancy. Most of testicular cancers are of the germ cell tumor type and they can be classified into seminomas or nonseminomas. The most common presentation of testicular cancer is a painless testicular nodule. Alpha-fetoprotein can be elevated in nonseminomas, while beta-human chorionic gonadotropin is usually elevated in both seminomas and nonseminomas. Radical inguinal orchiectomy along with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection helps in confirming the diagnosis and can be curative in early stages of testicular seminomas.
