Don't despair! Many cancers are curable, with a close to 100% survival rate. Some of the most treatable and survivable cancers are skin cancers, namely squamous cell carcinoma, basal cell carcinoma, and melanoma. Basal cell carcinoma is the most common of these and is very slow growing, rarely spreads, and is easily treated.
Other highly treatable and survivable cancers are Hodgkin's Lymphoma, Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. Testicular, thyroid, prostate and breast cancers are all highly survivable depending on how quickly they were detected. Additionally, Canada is leading the way with best outcomes for other cancers, having the highest survival rates among developed nations for lung and colon cancers.
