This is a myth that has been propagated by lay people, journalists and
old-fashioned out-of-touch doctors who have not bothered to keep track of how
modern evidence-based scientific medicine has progressed over the past two or
three decades. The following cancers are now completely curable even in
advanced stages:
Choriocarcinoma (placenta)
Testicular cancer (testicle)
Acute lymphoid leukemia in children (blood)
Large cell lymphoma (lymphoid tissue)
Acute promyelocytic leukemia (blood)
Burkitt's lymphoma (lymphoid tissue)
Hodgkin's disease (lymphoid tissue)
Ewing's sarcoma (bone)
Rhabdomyosarcoma (muscle)
Wilm's tumor (kidney)
In addition, many other cancers, including certain types of lung and breast
cancers, are curable if diagnosed and treated in the early stages with modern
scientific medical treatments.
