Hi,
I have read that primary testicular cancer has amongst the best cure rates for any cancer which is understandable. However apparently the prognosis for metastatic disease is also very good too (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16620142?dopt=Abstract).
I am interested to know why the prognosis for metastatic testicular cancer is good, as compared to other cancers, which usually have poor prognoses once metastasised.
Any educated guesses or explanations would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
