This doesn't mean that all cancer patients can be cured, but more than 80% of cancers today are completely curable if treated early.
For a cancer to be curable there are three factors: Type of cancer that a patient has, the stage of the cancer and how well the patient responds to the kind of treatment that is decided for him/her.
