168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ivan Basso has been given the all clear just over two mont⭕hs after being diagnosed with, and successfully treated for, testicular cancer.

Basso was diagnosed with cancer at the Tour de France in July. Feeling a pain in his leftꦚ testicle in the aftermath of a crash on stage 5, he underwent tests in the Tour’s medical unit and later at hospital in Pau, which revealed a tumour. He announced the news – along with his immediate withdrawal from the Tour – in an emotionally-charged rest-day press confer🀅ence and flew back to Italy shortly afterwards to undergo surgery.

That operꦡation to remove the testicle was a success, with Professor Francesco Montorsi, Director of the Urology Surgery Unit at San Raffaele Hospital in Milan🐟, saying: “The patient has perfectly recovered from the intervention. The final histological examination shows, cur♉rently, no indication for additional treatment and the patient will be closely observed during the following months.”

Just over two months on, Basso has seemingly been given the all clear. 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:The Italian was back on his bike last month but will make his return to racing at the Saitama Criterium on October 24. Beyond that, the 37-year-old's future in the sport is uncertain - despite having a contract with Tinkoff-Saxo for next year - since this incident has caused him to 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:reconsider his career plans.
