1. What is **cancer?

Carcinoma is a malignant tumor that occurs in the world. The main symptoms of cancer include swelling, a feeling of heaviness, and metastasis, such as swollen lymph nodes.

The risk of cancer is not fully understood, and possible risk factors include genetic factors and acquired factors. Among genetic factors, family inheritance may increase an individual's risk of developing ** cancer. Acquired factors include environmental factors (e.g., occupational and environmental exposures), malnutrition, and local temperature increases.

For cancer, surgical resection is the mainstay, and postoperative chemotherapy may be adjuvant with radiotherapy. If the disease occurs bilaterally or only one side is healthy**, it may affect future fertility.

Overall, cancer is a relatively treatable cancer, and early detection can increase the chances of it. If you have any of the above symptoms, it is advisable to seek medical attention as soon as possible for diagnosis and**.

2. How to self-check**.

*The self-test for cancer is as follows:

1.Stand in front of the mirror and observe if there is any change in appearance or swelling.

2.Use both hands to inspect each side separately**. Place your index and middle fingers underneath and your thumb above and gently touch between your fingers. There is no need to panic when you find that the two sides are only unequal in size and similar in texture, which is usually normal.

3.Above the **, you can feel the soft tubular structure, where is the epididymis. Cancerous lumps are usually located on the side and occasionally on top of them.

1.Surgery: For any type of cancer, resection is the mainstay. The surgical route is **sexual** excision of the transinguinal route, and it can be combined with retroperitoneal lymph node dissection. If embryonic cancer or malignant teratoma is present, retroperitoneal lymph node dissection and chemotherapy or radiation therapy are required.

2.Radiotherapy: For ** cancer, it is usually suitable for the case of abdominal cryptorchidism complicated by seminoma, or ** the phenomenon of large tumor and abdominal metastases.

3.Chemotherapy: Systemic chemotherapy for cancer is a very effective method with a high rate of complete remission and long-term survival. It can be used to alleviate cancer invasion in tissues after retroperitoneal lymph node dissection, maintenance and salvage after surgery, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy after complete or partial remission**.

In addition, immunity can also be used in cancer, which can make some weakened bodies produce immune-boosting effects, so as to exert anti-tumor effects.
