That would suggest it's localised. The survival rate of localised testicular cancer is 99% according to the SEER database. He'll live. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Survival rate is about 90% for that stage so hopefully he won’t be a DDP hit in the coming years. Age is more important, younger people have much better outcomes @ stage 4 than elderly people @ stage 2. The overall survival rate for stage 2 is 94.3%, at his age his chances of dying are almost non-existent. Hodgkin Lymphoma — Cancer Stat Facts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
