Cancer cure rate is pretty good

The results for children's cancers are even better.

Cancer cure rate is pretty good

Paul Benson, complaining about the cost of the Mars Rover writes “…we can’t find a cure and eradicate cancer.”

Well it’s true we can’t eradicate cancer, but Mr. Benson might be interested to know that 90-plus per cent of skin cancers are cured and about 65 per cent of all other adult cancers are cured. The results for children’s cancers are even better.
