What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is a Malignant Teratoma?
Thriving — not just surviving — begins with knowing vital information about your disease and the holistic cancer treatment options available to you.
Malignant teratoma is a rare variety of germ cell tumors. Unlike most malignant (cancerous) masses in the body, a teratoma contains fully developed tissues and organs, including hair, teeth, muscle, and bone. This tumor most commonly arises in the tailbone, ovaries, and testicles. However, it can also develop elsewhere in the human body.
In general, teratomas are benign (noncancerous) and more common in children. Cancerous forms of this disease are extremely rare, especially among older patients. Therefore, here at New Hope Unlimited, our focus is providing alternative teratoma treatments for adult men and women.
What are the Signs of a Malignant Teratoma?
A malignant teratoma has no symptoms at first. Signs and symptoms develop later on as the disease progresses. Our cancer care team’s powerful combination of orthodox and unorthodox cancer treatments aim to address the symptoms of a teratoma, all of which vary depending on the location of the tumor.
The common indicators of this cancer are:
- Pain and discomfort
- Swelling
- Bleeding
- Mildly elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a tumor marker
- Mildly elevated levels of the hormone beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (BhCG)
What Causes a Malignant Teratoma to Form?
Teratomas originate from a complication in the body’s growth process, which impacts the way cells differentiate and specialize. However, the exact cause of a malignant teratoma remains a perplexing scientific mystery that medical researchers are attempting to uncover.
How Do Doctors Diagnose a Malignant Teratoma?
Early detection is critical to a teratoma prognosis. A certified diagnostician is likely to perform the following tests and procedures to produce accurate findings:
- Medical history and physical exam
- Blood tests to check for elevated levels of AFP and BhCG
- X-rays
- Computed tomography (CT) scan
- Gynecologic examinations for ovarian teratoma
- Sample tissue removal through a biopsy
If your doctor detected a malignant teratoma, the next most critical step is to plan your cancer treatment.
