Study Notes
Testicular Cancer Types
- Seminoma: A type of testicular cancer, often sensitive to treatment.
- Embryonal cell carcinoma: An aggressive testicular cancer, typically affecting younger men.
- Teratoma: A tumor containing various tissue types, often located in the testis.
- Choriocarcinoma: A rare testicular cancer, associated with high human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) levels.
Cancer Spread and Characteristics
- Metastasis: The spread of cancer from its primary site to other areas of the body.
- Hypoechoic lesion: A darker area seen on ultrasound, potentially indicating a pathological condition.
- Well-defined borders: Clear margins of a lesion, suggestive of a less serious, potentially benign condition.
- Acoustic shadowing: A dark area behind a structure on an ultrasound, implying density.
- Anechoic: A fluid-filled structure that appears completely dark on ultrasound.
- Complex mass: A lesion with both solid and cystic components, displayed on imaging.
