Embryonal Carcinoma

Definition

Embryonal carcinoma is a rare and aggressive form of testicular cancer that originates from germ cells, which are responsible for producing sperm. This type of cancer can also occur in the ovaries, but it is less common. Embryonal carcinoma can spread rapidly to other parts of the body, making early detection and treatment crucial.
