When you hear the word "cancer", most people will associate it with a terminal illness. In fact, cancer is no longer synonymous with terminal illness. It can be said that cancer is a common disease. Almost everyone has relatives and friends suffering from cancer. The incidence rate is increasing year by year, but the mortality rate is gradually decreasing. Thanks to the popularity of physical examination, many cancer patients can be found early.
Someone asked, what are the top ten non-fatal cancers? In fact, this problem is not very rigorous. If cancer is found at an extremely early stage and treated in time, even the most malignant liver cancer, pancreatic cancer and gallbladder cancer have a chance to be cured. However, cancer cells have the characteristics of infinite proliferation and metastasis. If they are not treated in time and allowed to develop, even mild cancers may metastasize everywhere. Therefore, "not fatal" is only relative.
Let’s list ten kinds of cancers with high cure rate and long survival time.
1. Papillary thyroid carcinoma
Papillary thyroid cancer is a veritable "lazy cancer", which grows slowly, accounting for more than 90% of all thyroid cancers. As long as this type of thyroid cancer is surgically removed and treated with oral metoprolol after operation, it is generally not a threat to people’s long-term survival.
2. Early lung cancer
With the popularization of chest CT, the detection rate of early lung cancer has increased significantly, especially the growth of ground-glass nodular lung adenocarcinoma is relatively inert, and basically no metastasis will occur within 1cm. Early lung cancer includes carcinoma in situ and micro-invasive carcinoma, and the radical cure rate is 100%, which does not affect the normal survival time. The 5-year survival rate of patients with stage IA lung cancer is also close to 90%.
3. Basal cell carcinoma of skin
Basal cell carcinoma of skin is a low-grade malignant skin tumor, which mainly damages local skin tissue structure, and the probability of organ or lymph node metastasis is relatively low. Common in the elderly, prone to head, face and neck, mainly due to long-term sunlight exposure. Generally speaking, a complete surgical resection can achieve a cure.
4. Early cervical cancer
Stage I cervical cancer, that is, early cervical cancer, has a five-year overall survival rate of 95%, and stage II also has a survival rate of 70%-80%. If the patient doesn’t want to have surgery, synchronous radiotherapy and chemotherapy can also achieve the same effect as surgery.
5. Early breast cancer
The radical cure rate of early breast cancer surgery is very high, especially for luminaA type breast cancer, with good treatment effect and the best prognosis. It can be said that breast cancer is a kind of cancer that is easy to treat and has many treatment methods. Because of its long survival period, the 10-year survival rate is usually used to evaluate it.
6. nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal cancer is sensitive to radiation, and radiotherapy is the first choice for treatment. After early radiotherapy, nasopharyngeal cancer can be completely cured clinically, even if cervical lymph nodes metastasize, radiotherapy can be cured, and the overall cure rate of nasopharyngeal cancer is as high as 80%.
7. Hodgkin lymphoma
There are many types of lymphoma, and Hodgkin’s lymphoma has a relatively good prognosis. The application of modern radiotherapy and chemotherapy has made Hodgkin’s lymphoma a curable tumor. Lymphocyte-dominated Hodgkin’s lymphoma has a cure rate of 80% in stage I-II, and no transplantation is needed.
8. Prostate cancer
Most prostate tumors grow at a very slow rate, or don’t grow at all. This kind of tumor is even considered to be unnecessary for treatment, and many men can live a normal life without any complications. However, prostate cancer is prone to bone metastasis, and the prognosis of advanced prostate cancer and undifferentiated prostate cancer is poor.
9. choriocarcinoma
Women’s choriocarcinoma is highly sensitive to chemotherapy, and most patients’ lung metastases can disappear after chemotherapy. Even a few people, after surgical resection, lung metastases can spontaneously disappear. Therefore, the clinical cure rate of choriocarcinoma is very high, which can reach more than 90% in the early stage. Even if brain metastasis occurs, more than 50% of patients can be cured.
seminoma
Seminoma is a kind of testicular cancer, most of which are localized lesions, 80% of which are stage I (confined in testis), 15% are stage II (confined in retroperitoneal lymph nodes), and less than 5% of patients may spread beyond retroperitoneal lymph nodes. The prognosis of seminoma is good and the survival rate is very high. The five-year survival rate of patients is over 95%, and the survival rate of patients with stage I can almost reach 100%.
