Testicular Cancer
Testicular Cancer Treatment in Yeshwanthpur Bangalore
Testicular cancer, primarily affecting young men, originates in the testicles, with subtypes like seminomas and non-seminomas. Testicular cancer treatment involves several options based on the type, stage, and individual factors. Early detection significantly impacts testicular cancer treatment outcomes. Treatments include surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy and high-dose chemotherapy with a stem cell transplant.
Surgery known as radical inguinal orchiectomy involving the removal of the affected testicle, tumour, and spermatic cord is the main approach for testicular cancer. Procedures like retroperitoneal lymph node dissection may be additionally necessary. Retroperitoneal lymph node dissection (RPLND) is a major surgical procedure typically recommended when there's a high risk of cancer affecting the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. This procedure removes lymph nodes in the back of the abdominal cavity and is often performed in cases of testicular cancer to prevent potential cancer spread. Certain cases, especially seminomas, require radiation therapy, which involves directing high-energy rays at the cancer cells to destroy them. Precise planning is crucial, often involving CT scans for accurate targeting. Chemotherapy is a common treatment option for testicular cancer that kills cancer cells using drugs. The specific drugs and duration depend on the type and stage of the cancer. High-dose chemotherapy, sometimes followed by a stem cell transplant, may be recommended for advanced cases.
Your medical team will recommend treatment options with due consideration of the side effects and long-term implications of each option. Choose a treatment facility that has proven experience in treating the specific form of testicular cancer to improve your chances. It is always advisable to get a second opinion. Always remember to ask questions and take the time to consider all your options before making an informed decision about your treatment plan.
