A member asked:

The organs like that, but is germ cell cancer particularly bad?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Treatable: For germ cell cancers excellent chemotherapeutic agents are available, prognosis is excellent compared to a decade ago, famous cyclist lou armstrong is the best example. He saved more lives than winning races, by publicizing his case and making people aware of testicular cancer for early detection.

Dr Ferdowsi and another doctor agreed
