Is Cancer Ever Cured? With Dr. Jeanna Ford
Learn the terms healthcare teams use after cancer treatment is complete, and why they hesitate to use the word "cured." https://bit.ly/3FfnfUx
Advances in cancer diagnosis, screening, and treatment have greatly improved the 5-year survival rates of most people with cancer over the last 30 years. Long-term survivors of cancer are more and more common, and research is increasingly directed at helping people live well after a diagnosis of cancer.
