A member asked:
I'm just curious about this, but do you think in the future, certain cancers will become easier to treat?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Absolutely yes!: Each year, some cancers become easier to treat. The cure rate for Cancer has steadily improved by about 1% per year. So over the last 30 years of my career in Oncology, the cure rates have gone up from 40-50% to 65-70%. So I do expect the future to bring even more good news for Cancer patients.
