Usually cancers which are diagnosed early have excellent survival rates. Patients are often cured when an early cancer is diagnosed and a multimodality therapy is given. However, there are types of cancer, which have exquisite response rates and where cure is the rule. These include diseases such as testicular cancer, lymphoma, choriocarcinoma, early cancer of the bowel and gut and even early ovarian cancer. Often patients are cured of these diseases.

 

Testicular Cancer Men who have a type of testicular cancer called seminoma have a very good chance of being cured. Since the introduction of combination chemotherapy in the 1970s, survival crates for testicular cancer have risen every year to cure rates of over 95 percent. The percentage of men who recover from early-stage testicular cancer is getting close to 100 percent.

 

Non Hodgkin's Lymphoma (NHL) Fifty one out of every 100 people (51percent) diagnosed in England and Wales with all types of NHL will live for at least 10 years. However, outcome of non Hodgkin’s lymphoma depends partly on how advanced it is when it is diagnosed.

 

Bowel Cancer If diagnosed early, over 90 percent of bowel cancer cases can be treated successfully.
