Curable Cancers
Some of the cancers that can be cured completely are Hodgkin's lymphoma, testicular cancer, thyroid cancer, and melanoma. While some of these cancers can be treated with surgery, radiation, or chemotherapy, some can be cured with a combination of treatments.
Hodgkin's Lymphoma is a type of cancer that affects the immune system and is most common in young adults. It can be cured with chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or a combination of both.
