Question: Is there an actual cure for every cancer known to man!?
I would like to know this because I want to become an oncologist when I grow up and I just wanted to know if there is one cure for all of the cancers!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
There is no guaranteed cure for any cancer!. But thanks to progress that has been made, quite a few cancers CAN be cured: seven out of ten children are cured of cancer; testicular cancer, Hodgkin's disease, and many cases of leukaemia can all be cured in adults with chemotherapy, most skin cancers are cured with surgery and many cases of thyroid cancer and cancer of the larynx are cured with radiotherapy!.

Many other types of cancer are also cured if they are found early enough!. There is still a long way to go of course!., especially with some of the commonest types of cancer such as lung, breast, bowel and prostate cancer!.


The problem with finding a 'cure for cancer' is that cancer is not a single disease, it's an umbrella term for over 200 different diseases!. The difficulty with finding a cure is that different cancers are caused by different things, so no one strategy can prevent them They all respond to different treatments so no one treatment can cure them, so there isn't a magic bullet that cures all cancers and there never will be!.

Five years after diagnosis with an advanced, aggressive cancer, I can't be considered 'cured' as my type of cancer can return at any time, even years later!. But I'm in remission, fit and well with no sign of cancer at my last check up, and I thank my doctors the progress that's been made in cancer research so far for that!.

Every Cancer is different, thyroid cancer is the luckiest to get you can remove the throid with little to no probs and just be on meds forever, but most people who get it are alrady on the meds and will have to be on it forever anyway, not ovarian cancer on the other hand is "silent" or with no symptoms at all and by the time caught there isnt much you can do, except chemo, radiation andhope it gets better but i ahvent seen too many good results on that though!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes, kind of!. If found early enough, most if not all cancers can be removed before they have a chance to spread or can be treated and "kept at bay" for a very long time!. The fact is though that there are some cancers that are almost never caught early and are therefore usually not able to be cured at this time!.

Most cancers are curable but using different types of treatment!. Oncology looks like a great field to go into in the future as every year there are more and more treatments being discovered!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

No there is no cure!. Lets say for arguments sake, chemotherapy is believed to be a POSSIBle cure!. Putting into non-medical terms and into the simplest form, during chemotherapy you "knock" out the bad cells!. When you kill the bad ones, no way in hell you wnt kill the good ones!. And thats a wrap, for the patients!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Unfortunately no!. There are so many cancers, and there are no cures!. They give patients chemotherapy to kill the cancer, but it may or may not work!. They also give radiation to kill the tumor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com
