Comment Comment by doctoring Wait, but we do have the tools...We can (and do) cure so many cancers. Usually with surgery, +/- chemo/radiation. Sometimes just radiation.It's hard to overstate how curable most cancers are at early stage -- for some it's well over 90% and approaching 100%.The whole point of these screening tests is to try to find more cancers at more curable stages. parent doctoring 4 years ago
