Yuvi as he is fondly called has been diagnosed with extragonadal seminoma,in medicalspeach a rare tumor in the region (mediastinum)between the pleural sac,containing the heart and all of the thoracic viscera except the lungs.Organ located in the mediastinum include the heart,the aorta,the thymus gland,the chest portion of the trachea,the esophagus,lymph nodes and other nerves.Seminoma is a malignant tumor of the testis arising from sperms-forming tissues as the medical dictionary says.But in Yuvis case it is Extragonadal which would mean a location other than reproductive organs.
Dr Nikesh Rohthagi an oncologist with Max health care Saket who is heading the Indian team of Doctors attending Yuvaraj has been cited, to the great sigh of Indian cricket, as claiming that it is curable.Chemotherapy is the best treatment in such cancers.
It is a great consolation that YuvarajSingh was hospitalised at the early stage(stage1). Patients with that kind of disease are quiet often brought to the hospital at the final stage (stage 1v)and do walk out totally cured.
Times Now quotes Yuvraj's father Yograj Singh:" doctors in Boston have assured the cricketer of a full recovery that will leave him stronger."
