Which cancer disease is most deadly?

Answer 1

There isn't any cancer that cannot be treated and a patient survive. Cancer though is an individual disease and survival depends totally on patient response to treatment. By far the most deadly stage of cancer is metastatic cancer of any type. Metastastic cancer has the ability to shed microscopic cells and travel through the body system and re-establish a tumor in a distant location. Metastatic cancer is treatable, but difficult to maintain as it is possible for hundreds of 'seedings' to be sent out. There is no diagnostic imaging tools that can locate every single metastatic cell . . chemotherapy, so far, is the only system wide treatment available that can kill off metastisis.

Incidentally, there is no reference to such thing as a 'Norman sarcoma' in a human being. It is probably found in laboratory mice/rodents or used as a 'promotional gimick' of some kind. But it does not exist in humans under the name 'Norman sarcoma'.

We deal daily with extremely rare human soft tissue sarcoma and agree it is one of the more deadly cancers. The reason isn't because they are untreatable, it is because research is lagging behind. Recently the US government reduced major funding towards sarcoma research . . pretty much a devastating blow to those in the midst of fighting soft tissue sarcoma.

Answer 2

Is Sarcoma Cancer Deadly

Answer 3

There is a cancer called Norman Sarcoma. It is considered to have a 100% mortality rate and no form of cancer therapy is considered effective in extending life in a person with this cancer.

From this standpoint, Norman Sarcoma is probably the most deadly because if you have it, you won't even get treatment for it...because no treatments are considered effective or even "worth a shot."

Compare this to prostate, liver and lung cancer. People survive those cancers, or at least can have their lives extended by treatment. No one survives Norman Sarcoma.

Answer 4

Lung Cancer


citation from web source: Lung cancer is the malignant transformation and expansion of lung tissue, and is the most lethal of all cancers worldwide, responsible for 1.3 million deaths annually.
