A member asked:
Can someone be truly cured of a serious cancer like lymphoma or melanoma?
9 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes: The chances of curing any cancer depend greatly on how early the cancer is diagnosed and treated. Melanoma is very dangerous because it tends to spread to distant sites quickly, which makes it much more difficult to cure.
