[|Human|] Hi, My brother is being treated for testicular cancer. The description in the Diagnosis from the current hospital lymphs or nodes in his abdomen. It started from the end of past January and its spreading. Can you tell me if there is hope that he can live (or he can live longer than the worst expected) ? Any kind of treatment to improve his condition?
[|AI|]  Hi, Thanks for writing in. There are many types of cancers which primarily arise from testis and involve lymph nodes in abdomen. When testicular cancer has metastasized to distant areas like abdominal lymph nodes then the 5-year survival rate is 71%. It means that out of every 100 patients who have this cancer there will be 71 of them who will survive for 5 years or more when given recommended treatment. In testicular cancer the survival is better than most other cancers and aggressive chemotherapy and radiation therapy are recommended for treatment. It is suggested that you regularly follow up with his doctor and get his condition and treatment reviewed and ultrasound and CT scans done as required to know response to treatment. Please do not worry.
