Abstract:

A 72-year-old Japanese man presented with a painless swollen left scrotal mass with elevated levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein and prostate specific antigen. The patient underwent high orchiectomy under diagnosis and a final pathological examination revealed embryonal carcinoma of the left testis. A systematic needle prostate biopsy under guidance of transrectal ultrasound revealed prostate cancer (Gleason score, 8) on the left lobe (T2aN0M0). Systemic chemotherapy was given for retroperitoneal lymph node metastasis of testicular cancer and hormonal therapy (LH-RH analog) was given for prostate cancer. The patient was well with no evidence of metastasis from the testicular cancer or prostate cancer and with no elevation of serum alpha-fetoprotein or prostate specific antigen 26 months after the orchiectomy.

Oogenesis

Oogenesis

In human women, oogenesis produces one mature egg cell or ovum for every precursor cell that enters meiosis. This process differs in two unique ways from the equivalent procedure of spermatogenesis in males. First, meiotic divisions during oogenesis are asymmetric, meaning that a large oocyte (containing most of the cytoplasm) and minor polar body are produced as a result of meiosis I, and again following meiosis II. Since only oocytes will go on to form embryos if fertilized, this unequal...

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Disorders of the Male Reproductive System

Men's health issues are increasingly recognized as significant, with several conditions posing common threats. Among these, testicular cancer is especially prevalent in younger men, particularly those aged 20 to 35 years. The disease often manifests as a painless mass in the testicles, sometimes accompanied by a sensation of heaviness or a dull ache.
Prostate disorders are another major concern. These conditions can impair urinary flow due to the prostate's location around the urethra. Symptoms...
