Top 7 most curable cancers when detected early

People with breast, prostate, cervical, thyroid ... cancer patients have a high chance of living if they are detected early and treated promptly.

According to Medicalnewstoday, cancer cells can start in one part of the body, then spread to other areas. Cancer is the leading cause of death in the United States. The National Cancer Institute estimates that 1,735,350 new cases in 2018, about 609,640 people died from the disease.

To understand the difference, develop different types of cancer, researchers statistically estimate the 5-year survival rate with patients after diagnosis of cancer. The results do not indicate whether treatment removes cancer markers, but is useful for comparing different types of cancer.

Although there is no specific way to treat cancer thoroughly, detecting and treating the disease in the early stages can significantly improve the health of the patient. Here are 7 types of cancer that are highly curable if detected at an early stage.

In fact, most cancers are curable if they are caught early enough.

Breast cancer

The 5-year survival rate for breast cancer stage 0 and 1 is 99 - 100%. Stage 0 cancer cells are not invasive, have not spread to other tissues in the breast, lymph nodes or other organs.

Stage 1 breast cancer, small tumors appear, usually less than 2 cm in size, have not spread to another area of ​​the body. Doctors can isolate and treat them before they can become more serious.

People with stage 1 and 0 breast cancer are highly successful.

Prostate cancer

Prostate cancer has a 99% survival rate for 5 years in stages 1 and 2. Prostate cancer develops slowly, can be treated.

Testicular cancer

5-year survival rate for testicular cancer is 99% for local tumors (tumors in the testes), 96% for regional tumors that have spread to nearby tissues or lymph nodes testicular. In the early stages of the disease, the doctor may remove one or two testes for treatment.

Testicular removal is an effective treatment, but it is less beneficial when the cancer has spread.

Thyroid Cancer

Thyroid cancer has a relative 5-year survival rate of 98 -100% when it is detected stage 1 and 2. The thyroid is the major endocrine gland in the body, has many important functions, secreting thyroid hormones. The condition includes Thyroxine (also known as T4 because there are 4 iodine molecules in the composition), the hormone tri-iodo-thyronine (or T3).

Thyroid cancer develops slowly, allowing treatment even when the cancer has spread to surrounding tissues in the throat.

Skin melanoma

Melanoma is a skin cancer that has a high survival rate because it is easily detected, and patients can identify and treat melanoma in the early stages, increasing the chance of survival.

However, if not detected early, melanoma can spread beneath the skin surface and be difficult to remove.

Cervical cancer

The disease has a survival rate of 93% for 5 years if detected in stages 0 and 1A. Early detection allows the doctor to treat abnormal growth cells before they spread to other areas of the body. Even at a later stage, cancer cells grow at a slow pace, patients can still treat effectively.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a cancer that originates in the lymphatic system, the lymphatic system is the immune network against disease spread throughout your body. In non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, tumors develop from lymphocytes - a type of white blood cell in the blood.

Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma has a survival rate of about 90% due to its good response to radiation therapy.
