firstly the diagnosis of cancer at early stage is hard
mostly known at the stage 2 or 3
as people ignore the symptoms

In case of early diagnosis and early treatment, it is said that cancer is curable. In metastasis stage, it becomes difficult to control.

While many cancers can be effectively treated or even cured if detected early, it really depends on the type and stage of cancer. Early diagnosis definitely improves the chances of successful treatment but some cancers are more aggressive or complex. Ongoing research is continuously improving outcomes, so early detection and treatment remain crucial.

See, there is no guarantee that a cancer would be cured but some cancers are MORE curable than others.
Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, ALL is one such example. Then Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, these are the two which come to my mind.
But then if you look at 5 years survival, then the high percentage of 5 years survival is for these cancers:
Number one is breast cancer, then testicular cancer, prostate, melanoma, thyroid cancer, cervical cancer, and as I mentioned earlier Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. But still I bet on ALL. I’ve seen ALL patients being fully cured.

It cannot be cured… For all types of cancer… By yes if early diagnosis can definitely prevent prevalence and proceeding for further stages, metastasis.

Well said, Doctor.
That was very informative and clearly explained. If you can, could you also please tell me about Rectal Ca T4b N1 M0 (Stage IIIc) and its curability and survival outlook?

Early stage treatment often leads to excellent outcomes.
That’s why awareness, early diagnosis, and access to treatment are so important.

Yes most of the cancers can be cured with early detection and treatment but some depend on its type, location and the person’s health. Early detection saves lives so its important to have awareness and regular health check ups.

yes the cancer can be cured if treated early but making sure that it has not spreaded to another part of the body then it can be treated with successful treatment. but if it was spreaded to other body parts then it can be possible to cure with surgery. if the cancer has crossed the stage 2 or 3 then it will be risky and chances are very low.

You are right but other types of cancer determined in early stage then?

Early detection and treatment may cause remission. But regular checkup has to be done.

Some tumours especially benign ones, may be cured but life long monitoring and check ups are required.

Some cancers if detected and treated early, their recurrence rates get really low. It all depends upon cancer type. Following a suitable lifestyle intervention (diet, exercise and other healing modalities) following a course of cancer therapy is equally essential, so that the recurrence does not happen.

The cancer includes various stages but the worsen is shown only in the final stage so early detection pr else like full body check is mandatory not only for cancer but also for other diseases as well . So early predictions may help in curing the cancer
Yes I believe cancer can be cured fully with early detection and treatment. However, a predisposition to cancer could mean its reoccurence, and in this sense it may not be possible to cure cancer fully.
