What's the most beaten cancer?

Question

Like out of all the cancers, what cancer has had more survivors then any other cancer.

Answer 1

I would think a form of thyroid cancer and/or basal cell carcinoma. For the absolute top one, that would be bcc.

Answer 2

I believe it is skin cancer as long as it is caught early enough.



Jake, breast cancer kills many people each year. The fact that you can have your breast cut off and live without a breast has nothing to do with whether or not you are going to survive. I have had a mastectomy and I still had to undergo aggressive chemotherapy and radiotherapy. I still have a good chance of the cancer recurring and spreading which will make it terminal. You can live without part of your lung too but that doesn't make lung cancer an easy cancer to survive. You can live without a prostate or a gall bladder. There are many parts of the body that get cancer and you can live without them. You can live without a leg or an arm as well. Shall I go on? Don't ever underestimate how much losing a breast can affect someone.



Also Mike, we do not have a vaccine for cervical cancer. We have a vaccine for a common virus that may increase a woman's chance of getting it. People who have this injection can still get cervical cancer. The only reason cervical cancer is 'easy' to beat is because we can have pap smears regularly and pick it up long before it becomes too late.



To ask which cancer has had more survivors is not really indicative of which cancer is easier to survive as you would have to also compare the amount of people who get that cancer in the first place compared to another cancer. Prostate cancer is generally a slow growing cancer. Many men die with it rather than of it, do you include those men? If they lived long enough it probably would eventually kill them.



Any cancer has the potential to kill and affects the patient in many different ways.

Answer 3

I'd say cervical cancer. So beat, we even have a vaccine for it. Even prior to that development, it had a very high survival rate as I understand it.

Answer 4

breast cancer, cause breasts are not necessary for survivol, so they can be removed
