"Got very good news from Dr Lawrence today! The tumor
is almost way out of the system," said the 30-year-old on his Twitter
account.
Yuvraj was told last year that he had a golf ball-sized
non-malignant tumor but that diagnosis was changed this month to a cancerous
condition called "mediastinal seminoma.”
One of the cleanest strikers of a cricket ball, the
middle-order batsman is not a regular member of India's test team but is an
automatic choice in their limited-over sides.
Yuvraj was instrumental in India's 2007 World Twenty20
victory in South Africa and hit England fast bowler Stuart Broad for six sixes
in an over in one match.
He was also named player of the tournament in India's
successful 50-over World Cup campaign on home soil in February, March and April
last year.
Last month Yuvraj said he was reading Lance Armstrong's 2000
autobiography 'It's Not About the Bike: My Journey Back to Life'.
"I'm sure it will motivate me and pull me
through," the Indian added.
American cyclist Armstrong is one of sport's best-known
cancer survivors.
