How to treat testicular endodermal sinus tumor

The condition of male testicles will directly affect the growth of sperm. It can be seen that the role of testicles is very important. Some male patients have testicular endodermal sinus tumors. This disease is actually a hormone-secreting tumor. Patients will also have symptoms of very high serum AFP concentrations. The lower the concentration, the faster the tumor disappears. So how to treat testicular endodermal sinus tumors?

First, how to treat testicular endodermal sinus tumor? Endodermal sinus tumor is a rare and highly malignant ovarian germ cell tumor. The vast majority are unilateral, large in size, round or oval, with intact capsule, solid cross-section, brittle texture, and contain numerous small cysts containing colloidal cyst fluid, accompanied by obvious hemorrhage and necrosis, and are prone to rupture. Endodermal sinus tumor originates from the yolk sac. The tumor cells can produce alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), and higher concentrations of A can be measured in the patient's serum.

Second, how to treat testicular endodermal sinus tumor? This condition is generally a tumor-like lesion caused during the embryonic period, and is mainly a complication caused by poor differentiation at that time. It is recommended to provide the specific results of the examination to see the size and development of the testicles. It is impossible to treat it casually. Testicular endodermal sinus tumors are generally prone to recurrence and grow rapidly. After all, this disease is a tumor. If it is completely removed in the early stage and there are no residual cancer cells in the surrounding lymph nodes or retroperitoneal lymph nodes and no metastatic lesions in the lungs, the effect will be very good. If there is a high chance of cancer cell spread and recurrence, chemotherapy will also be effective.

How to treat testicular endodermal sinus tumor? Surgical treatment. Surgical treatment of primary tumors When patients with ovarian endodermal sinus tumors seek medical treatment, 50% to 80% have already had extraovarian tumor metastasis. Most of the metastases are confined to the surface of the pelvic and abdominal organs. Lymph nodes may also metastasize. The tumor is often unilateral, so the scope of surgery should include the removal of the primary ovarian tumor, the greater omentum, and pelvic implants. When choosing the scope of surgery, special emphasis should be placed on preserving fertility function. The chance of retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis is not small.
