The 30-year-old was told last year that he had a golf ball-sized non-malignant tumour but that diagnosis was changed in February to a cancerous condition called "mediastinal seminoma".
"After finishing his treatment (in the US) in mid-March, Yuvraj spent a few days in London [ Images ] recuperating from the side-effects of chemotherapy," the BCCI said on its website (www.bcci.tv).
"Yuvraj's doctors were happy with his reaction to the treatment and were confident he wouldn't suffer a relapse."
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 [ Images ] title triumph in South Africa [ Images ] and hit England [ Images ] fast bowler Stuart Broad [ Images ] 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 last year.
