Radiotherapy for seminomas involves low-dose irradiation of the para-aortic abdominal lymph nodes and the pelvis, and the exact number of radiotherapy treatments that need to be done needs to be confirmed according to the severity of the disease. Generally, 4-6 times of radiotherapy are done.
1. Mild disease: if the postoperative recovery of seminomas is good and the effect of radiotherapy is obvious, radiotherapy can be done about 4 times. At the same time, radiotherapy should prevent irradiation of the lateral testicle so as not to jeopardize fertility.
2. Severe disease: poor postoperative recovery of spermatogonial cell tumor, can choose to do about 6 times of radiotherapy. However, it is necessary to pay attention to the radiotherapy may produce gastrointestinal, skin darkening, fatigue and other adverse reactions.
Besides needing to pay attention to the side effects after radiotherapy, patients should ensure the intake of high-quality protein and other nutrients in their daily diet, ensure the regularity of sleep, pay attention to the hygiene of personal living environment, and choose the appropriate amount of exercise according to the patient’s own condition to prevent other complications.
