Prognosis H&N CA: Definitely not! there is obviously a wide range of cancer sites in this classification ranging from voice box, which has a 95% cure rate, to base of tongue, which can be very hard to cure. Cure rates will depend on the location as well as the size and the extent or stage of the cancer.
