A member asked:
Is it true that every cancer is curable if caught early? and what is the best way to catch cancer early?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
More or less: Most but not all cancers are curable if caught early. The process for diagnosing cancer varies by cancer type and organ involved. There are only a limited number of issues where early detection is practical. The more commonly used monitoring for cancer is for cancer of the female cervix and colon cancer. Skin and oral cancers are also amenable to early detection.
