What are the consequences of not treating testicular cancer in general?

Patient's question:

I always feel unwell, so I went to the hospital for a comprehensive and thorough examination. The result was that the hospital was diagnosed with stage II testicular cancer. I asked the doctor what the consequences would be if testicular cancer is not treated in general cases.

Doctor's answer:

According to your symptoms, testicular tumors are often characterized by painless testicular swelling. There are also cases with a more rapid onset and progression, where sudden painful lumps may reappear accompanied by chills, fever, local redness, and swelling. Your condition has responded well to antibiotic treatment, and no tumor marker tests for confirming testicular tumors have been performed. It is recommended to continue antibiotic treatment for two weeks. If you are still concerned, you can have a blood test to measure human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG), alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), and placental alkaline phosphatase. I hope my explanation is helpful to you. Wishing you good health.
