Many: Many cancers are treated and "cured" successfully with radiation therapy alone. Usually these are early stage cancers and include cancers of the head and neck, the voicebox, the prostate, as well as lymphomas. Radiation in combination with chemotherapy and or surgery is standard of care for many cancers.
