What happens during the disease - malignant neoplasm: testis, unspecified
Окончательная причина возникновения рака яичка до сих пор не установлена, но прослеживается ряд факторов, наличие которых существенно повышает риск развития заболевания.
Выделяют три группы факторов риска: перинатальные (связанные с внутриутробным развитием плода), постпубертатные (относящиеся к периоду развития человека после завершения полового созревания) и генетические.
Перинатальные факторы: установлено, что эстрогены и эстрогеноподобные вещества могут оказывать влияние на внутриутробное формирование гонад у плода. Женские половые гормоны способны индуцировать возникновение тетраплоидии герминогенных клеток (редкий вариант хромосомных аномалий, при котором увеличивается полный набор хромосом зародышевых клеток). Это является одним из признаков развития у плода carcinoma in situ (предшественницы всех раков).
Генетические факторы риска: описана связь между генетическими изменениями (в гене-супрессоре опухоли PTEN) и риском возникновения опухолей половых клеток яичка.
Крипторхизм (неопущение яичка) увеличивает риск развития рака яичка в 5-10 раз. В утробе матери у плода мужского пола развитие яичек происходит в брюшной полости.
Обычно яички опускаются в полость мошонки при рождении или на первом году жизни. Если этот процесс задерживается или яички не опустились в мошонку, создаются неблагоприятные условия, способствующие развитию дегенеративных изменений. Чем глубже и дольше яичко расположено в брюшной полости, тем сильнее нарушается сперматогенная (репродуктивная) функция мужчины.
