A member asked:

Doctors, what is the difference between advanced testicular cancer and another advance cancer such as advanced lung cancer?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

More curable: Advanced testicular cancer spreads to nodal area. In most instances the primmary is resectable and nodes can most oftern be removed. These tumors are sensitive to radiation and chemotherapy with a high cure rate. Lung cancer when advanced is most often not resectable and invades major pulmonary vessels into pericardium. Effective radiation hard to deliver and chemo limited.
