Question 1

can cancer be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Cure for cancer depends on the type of cancer, how early it was found, whether or not it has spread to other parts of the body, how early treatment is started, the type of treatments available, how aggressive the tumor is, the skill of the treating physician (oncologist, surgeon, etc.), and the overall health of the patient being treated. Discuss these with your doctor.

Question 2

can prayanam cure cancer?

Accepted Answer

You mean pranayama?: Pranayama is a yoga routine. It may enhance well-being and enhance personal strength but I am not aware of any proof that it cures cancer.

Question 3

will cancer ever be cured?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: Cancer is not "other", it is the inevitable result of accumulated mutations in our own genes and will eventually arise and kill any multicellular organism that does not die of something else first. However, we now cure 4 out of 6 cancers mostly due to early detection. Fear cancer,  but fear it rationally and with knowledge as an advocate for your own health.

Question 4

how can cancer be cured in metasis?

Accepted Answer

You mean stage 4?: Once cancer has metastasized (spread to other organs), it is usually considered incurable. There are exceptions: some lymphomas and testicular cancers can be cured with chemo even if advanced. Other advanced cancers can be cured in rare circumstances if the spread is limited and if the patient is treated aggressively, with surgery and chemo +/- radiation. Is that what U were asking?

Question 5

hi what is cancer and how to cure it ??

Accepted Answer

Unrestrained growth: of cells. Abnormal cell structure, function. Grows, spreads locally and away by direct extension or through blood vessels and/or lymph. Not 1 disease, but many.  Multiple causes, incl genetic defects (inborn or  acquired), physical, chemical damage, effects of radiation. Input from environment, including (long term) nutrition, other factors. Therefore not a single or simple cure

Question 6

are some cancers easier to cure than others?

Accepted Answer

Yes: An early basal cell carcinoma can be excised with the expectation of cure. I'm personally familiar with hundreds of different types of cancer and the books describe thousands more. Hodgkin's -- once uniformly fatal -- is now cured in the vast majority of cases.  There are aggressive sarcomas that have never been cured.

Question 7

will cancer ever be cured or completely eradicated?

Accepted Answer

Hard to say.: I'm sure the future of medicine holds promise for lots of people and many medical conditions.  One of the basic issues is that a cancer cell's metabolic processes are so similar to those in a regular cell, so how do we differentiate between the two to target the cancer cells and not the regular cells?

Question 8

my uncle is on 4th stage of cancer, can he be cured?

Accepted Answer

Possibly: This depends on the cancer type.

Question 9

can there be certain cancers that already have cures?

Accepted Answer

Yep: Lymphomas and testicular cancers, even if advanced, can be cured or put in long term remission.  Other cancers like colon, breast, melanoma, or even lung could potentially be cured if detected early enough.

Question 10
