What Patients Say About Cancer Treatment at New Hope
What is Polyembryoma?
Living a full, healthy, and happy life — not just surviving — starts with knowing vital information about your disease and the holistic cancer treatments available to you.
Polyembryoma is an aggressive germ cell tumor that emerges from the cells of the gonads or reproductive glands; ovaries in females and testes in males. This cancerous mass, which is especially rare among women, has a distinctive appearance under a microscope. According to medical reports from leading organizations in cancer research, polyembryoma has characteristics of both a yolk sac tumor and an undifferentiated teratoma. In layman’s terms, the tumor features several parts that resemble the shape of an embryo — the earliest stage of a developing infant during pregnancy.
Germ cell tumors can either be benign (noncancerous) or malignant (cancerous). New Hope Unlimited’s mission is to provide a combination of conventional and alternative treatments for cancerous forms of this disease.
What are the Signs of Polyembryoma?
Polyembryoma is extremely uncommon with only 18 reported cases of ovarian polyembryoma alone, according to the National Institutes of Health. Therefore, very few established guidelines describe polyembryoma’s symptoms. The only known signs include:
- An unusual lump or mass in the abdomen for ovarian polyembryoma
- Irregularities in a female patient’s menstruation
- Scrotal enlargement for polyembryoma of the testes
- Mildly elevated levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a tumor marker
- Mildly elevated levels of the hormone beta-human chorionic gonadotropin (BhCG)
How Do Doctors Diagnose Polyembryoma?
A diagnostician is likely to conduct a series of examinations to produce accurate cancer findings, including but not limited to:
- Complete medical history and physical exam
- Blood tests to check for elevated levels of AFP and BhCG
- X-rays of the affected area
- Computed tomography (CT) scans
- Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans
- Gynecologic examinations for ovarian polyembryoma
- Testicular examination for male patients
- Sample tissue removal through a biopsy
If your doctor diagnosed you with polyembryoma, the next step is to plan your cancer treatment.
