Question 1

how many % of mixed germ cell tumours in testicular cancer have a componenet of choriocarcinoma?

Accepted Answer

About 10%: This was my answer off the top of my head and comfirmed by a quick visit to e-medicine. Don't mistake a seminoma that makes a lot of HCG for a true choriocarcinoma. Hope this helps; if you or someone special has primary testicular cancer, hoping you get a good result -- we'd rather the "chorio" not be there but be optimistic http://emedicine.Medscape.Com/article/1967796-overview.

Question 2

is lymphoma the most common testicular tumor over 50?

Accepted Answer

Likely: There are reports that do agree that this is the case. There ares still seminomas and other primary testicular cancers seen in this age group. In general this statement is correct.

Question 3

testicular ultrasound results can tell you if you have even a small tumor?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Ultrasound is a very good way to look at the testicle, and would be able to see quite small changes.

Question 4

had metastatic germ testicular tumor in right testicular and testicular removed. will tumor happen again ?..is it fully curable ?

Accepted Answer

Clarify?: The large majority of men with a testicular germ cell cancer that metastasizes can expect a cure with today's medications. Usually two years disease-free means you can expect it not to recur. While the healthtap team is glad to help, you also owe it to yourself to get your physicians' full answer to all your questions.

Question 5

is testicular tumor and testicular cancer the same thing?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily: A testicular tumor could be benign or malignant. Take care.

Question 6

it's been a week since my husband had his testicular tumor removed from left, why is his worst pain in his left leg?

Accepted Answer

Depends: Depends on the exact distribution of pain, whether it is "referred", whether there is associated leg weakness, numbness/tingling, etc. Best bet is to talk to your doctor.

Question 7

is it possible for testicular cancer to have spread after early detection and removal? one month has passed since the tumor was removed.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Testicular cancers are more often detected late than early, known to spread early even after surgery, but the great news , thanks to our oncologists, is virtually they can be cured even with spread , by  availability of excellent chemotherapy, best example is cyclist l aramstrong.

Question 8

left testicular remvd due to testicular tumor in 2007 nw diagnosed hydrocele by scrotm ultrasoun in right testicular.hydrocele is treatd by medicines?

Accepted Answer

NO , only surgery: Right hydrocele is not related to left testicular tumor ( chemo could have precipitated  ) hydrocele is a collection of fluid , in the sac around testis  , once fluid accumulates will not get absorbed , re accumulates even after aspiration, small ones could be left alone , surgery is the only way for the cure , not medicines , .

Question 9

Question 10

left testicular removed due to testicular tumor in 2007 & now diagnsed hydrocele in right testicular by scrotm ultrasound .will it develop into tumor?

Accepted Answer

Excess fluid: Testicular cancer is in the testicle itself.  Almost all things found outside of the testicle are benign.  A hydrocoele is just increased fluid surrounding the testicle, sometimes for o apparent reason.  Obviously, it's a good idea to continue your routine follow up with urology.
