Is cancer Hundred Percent Curable by any treatment?

Answer 1

It depends on the part of body affected by cancer and the grade and stage of the disease. If it is in the in the initial stage there is a possibility of curing it by the 3 known treatments - surgery, chemotherapy and radiation therapy. Theoretically all these treatments cure the disease, but it is all only for extension of time limit. In advanced stages - Stage III and IV high dosage of chemo and radiation are given and the patients suffer a lot and in fact more than the disease itself. In spite of this recurrence of the disease is noticed in most of the case. chances for complete cure in any stage appears bleak as -
CANCER IS STILL AN ENIGMA.

Answer 2

No - it's killed my father, 2 grandfathers and 1 grandmother. All different types of cancer and all within the last couple of years. Sometimes cancer can go into remission meaning it's not growing and you can regain health. However, it will come back and never fully disappears (at least in my experience). Some cancers, if caught early, can be almost completely eradicated but so much depends on the health of the person too. So there is no cancer that is curable, and many are deadly.

Answer 3

Cure needs to be defined in Cancer. In cancer a patient is considered cured if he survives for more than 5 years. As of today 50% of newly diagnosed cancer patients can be cured.
The cure rate will vary upon the type of cancer, stage of cancer and each individual patient. In general early stage patients are more curable than late stage patients.
Cancer is one of the best managed chronic disease. Efforts are on to reduce the morbidity and mortality associated with cancer.
To say that cancer is as curable as common cold will probably take many more decades but is better managed than diabetes, hypertension, etc

Answer 4

It really depends on the type, location and stage of the cancer as to the success rate of survival, but to say that any cancer is 100% curable is not a correct statement. All cancer can be deadly.

Answer 5

I don't know if it is curable, but I do know that it goes into remission. I have a niece and a friend that are both in remission. My niece has been since 2004, and my friend since 2005. I have a neighbor that has been cancer free for five years, however, they have told her that it could always come back. I have a condition in my mouth that has been determined "cancer". Two bioposies have come back positive, had the problem taken care of, two later bioposies came back o.k.. Now they say I am in remission, however, I will have to monitered for the rest of my life because they can come back positive any time. So in my opinion, you are never really "cured", just in, hopefully, a life-long remission.

Answer 6

If the treatment is taken at the beginning, cancer is 100% curable.

Answer 7

anyway, can cancer be cured or not, depends on it phase. and type. Even an operation can't guaranteed if you will be free from those cancer. because cancer can infect other part of body nearby from the place that infected by cancer. Cancer also can endanger your life if you didn't take any action by medical treatment or operation. but there's still a lot of chance to live and can be cure if you know it and take action as soon as possible.

Answer 8

It depends of the cancer and the status...
If it's breast cancer it is easily curable...
If it's stomach's or anything of the digestive apparell it's more difficult to cure :S even if it has a small advantage...

Answer 9

One cannot make a blanket statement on that, because tumors of the same organ may be more or less malignant and responsive to treatment. Many types of cancer now can be cured {Five year cures}.

Answer 10

I developed Hodgkin's disease at the age of eighteen, and it reached a stage where the primary tumour, which had been removed and come back, had become painful.

In those days radiotherapy was a new treatment for this type of tumour, which up until then had been 100% fatal. I am now looking forward to receiving my pension in five months' time. :)
