Dr Harpal Kumar, director of Cancer Research Organization said: ' Cisplatin is a very successful success in cancer research and treatment'.

'It helps testicular cancer patients to fight the disease. At the same time is a good example of what we can do with specialized studies , 'Kumar added.

'With some cancers, curing is now a reality. 96% of men with testicular cancer are now able to cure the disease. However, it is important that we realize that still 4% of them still cannot escape the disease. We still have to keep trying to help these people in the future , 'Kumar said.
