Current status of diagnosis and treatment of testicular tumors in children

Abstract

Abstract: There are significant differences in pathological characteristics, treatment options, and clinical prognosis of testicular tumors between children and adults. Due to the low incidence of testicular tumors in children, more pathological analysis, and large differences in treatment options, clinicians are required to have a wealth of relevant medical knowledge and clinical skills in order to diagnose, accurately type, and treat testicular tumors early. At present, there are not many studies on pediatric testicular tumors, and the relatively small number of patients leads to research limitations and research bias. Therefore, the understanding of pediatric testicular tumors is limited. This article reviews the progress in diagnosis and treatment of testicular tumors.

Key words: childhood, testicular tumor, diagnosis, treatment

摘要： 儿童与成人睾丸肿瘤在病理特点、治疗方案、临床预后上均存在明显差异。由于睾丸肿瘤在儿童中发病率低、病理分析较多、治疗方案差别较大,这要求临床医师要掌握丰富的相关医学知识及临床技能,以便对睾丸肿瘤及早诊断、精准分型及合理治疗。目前国内对小儿睾丸肿瘤的研究不多,患者数量相对较少导致研究的局限性和研究偏倚,因此对小儿睾丸肿瘤的认识有限。本文综述了睾丸肿瘤的诊断与治疗进展。
