      Yes. Some types of cancer more than the others. For some types of cancer, we can completely treat the patients. For others, we can decrease their spread and increase the life of patients. However, for some types of cancers because of their aggressiveness, it is still difficult to treat the patients and save their lives. This is where we need all of you to become scientists and cure all types of cancer.

      Some types of cancers have treatments, either to completely remove the cancer or to slow the growth or spread to increase the patient lifespan. There are other cancers that are more difficult to treat so there is always more work to be done in the cancer therapeutic research space!
