You do: Not provide sufficient information, and this is a question for your oncologist. Short answer: >90% success rate; better if: a. No distant disease, no distant nodes; seminoma rather than germ cell varieties, levels of Alpha feto protein and HCG are 'markers to follow. In the unliely event you relapse, salvage is also quite high percentage wise.
