Embryonal carcinoma

Embryonal carcinoma is a type of cancer that primarily affects the testicles but can occur in other parts of the body as well. It arises from germ cells, which are the cells that develop into sperm or eggs. This cancer typically occurs in young men and can grow quickly, often forming a tumor. Symptoms may include a lump in the testicle, swelling, or pain. Embryonal carcinoma is considered a type of testicular cancer and is usually treated with surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation therapy, depending on the stage and spread of the disease. Early detection is key to effective treatment.
