Hearing the word "cancer," most people associate it with a terminal illness. In fact, cancer is no longer synonymous with terminal illness. It can be said that cancer has been regarded as a common disease, almost everyone has relatives and friends suffering from cancer, the incidence rate is increasing year by year, but the mortality rate has a gradual downward trend. Thanks to the popularity of physical examinations, many cancer patients can be detected early.
Someone asked, what are the top ten non-fatal cancers? In fact, this problem is not very rigorous, if the cancer is found very early and treated in time, even the most malignant liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, gallbladder cancer has the opportunity to be cured. But cancer cells have the characteristics of unlimited proliferation and metastasis, if not treated in time, let it develop, even mild cancer has the possibility of metastasis. So, "not fatal" is only relative.
Let's list ten cancers with high cure rates and long survival.
1. Papillary thyroid cancer
Papillary thyroid cancer is a veritable "lazy cancer", slow growth, accounting for more than 90% of all thyroid cancer, this type of thyroid cancer as long as the surgical removal, postoperative oral Eucalyptus replacement treatment, the long-term survival of people generally no threat.
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 occurs within 1 cm. Early lung cancer includes carcinoma in situ, micro-invasive carcinoma, and the surgical radical cure rate reaches 100%, which does not affect normal survival time. The 5-year survival rate of stage IA lung cancer patients is also close to 90%.
3. Skin basal cell carcinoma
Cutaneous basal cell carcinoma is a low-grade malignant skin tumor, which mainly causes damage to the local skin tissue structure, and the incidence of organ or lymph node metastasis is relatively low. It is common in the elderly and tends to occur on the head, face, and neck, mainly due to long-term sun exposure. In general, surgical complete resection can achieve cure.
4. Early cervical cancer
Stage I cervical cancer, that is, early cervical cancer, has an overall survival rate of 95% at five years of surgery, and a survival rate of 70%-80% in stage II. If the patient is reluctant to operate, concurrent chemoradiation and chemotherapy can be performed, and the effect can be achieved substantially the same as that of surgery.
5. Early breast cancer
The surgical radical cure rate for early breast cancer, especially luminaA type breast cancer, has a good treatment effect and the best prognosis. It can be said that breast cancer is a cancer that is easy to treat and has many treatment methods, and because of the long survival period, it is usually assessed by a 10-year survival rate.
6. Nasopharyngeal carcinoma
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma is sensitive to radioactivity, the preferred treatment is radiation therapy, nasopharyngeal cancer can be completely achieved clinical cure after early radiotherapy, even if the cervical lymph node metastasis, radiotherapy can also be cured, the overall cure rate of nasopharyngeal carcinoma is as high as 80%.
7. Hodgkin lymphoma
There are many types of lymphoma, Hodgkin lymphoma has a relatively good prognosis, and the application of modern radiotherapy and chemotherapy has made Hodgkin lymphoma a curable tumor. The cure rate of phase I-II of lymphocyte-dominated Hodgkin lymphoma can reach 80%, and transplantation is not required.
8. Prostate cancer
Most prostate tumors grow at a very slow rate, or not at all, and this tumor is not even considered to require 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. Chorionic carcinoma
Women's chorionic carcinoma is highly sensitive to chemotherapy, and the vast majority of patients can disappear after chemotherapy. Even in a very small number of people, after surgical resection, lung metastases can disappear spontaneously. Therefore, the clinical cure rate of chorionic carcinoma is very high, reaching more than 90% in the early stage, and even if brain metastasis occurs, more than 50% of patients can still be cured.
Seminocytoma
Seminoma is a type of testicular cancer, mostly manifested as focal lesions, 80% of which are stage I (confined to the testicles), 15% are stage II (confined to the retroperitoneal lymph nodes), and less than 5% of patients may spread beyond the retroperitoneal lymph nodes. Seminoma has a good prognosis and a high survival rate, with a five-year survival rate of more than 95% for patients and almost 100% for stage I patients.
