is there any medicine which can cure cancer completely in the last stage?

Good question!\nI just know there are treatments that consist of different things for a patient to go threw at the last stage. But of course at the last stage, It's less than a 50% chance to cure it.

If the cancer is localized and has not spread to the lymph nodes then if can be removed surgically. The best shot for a cure is a liver transplant for a localized cancer. If the cancer is larger than 5 cm or has spread then chemo might prolong survival time but also might not. You have to ask whether the goals of treatment are worth the side effects. There are other treatments available that will slow liver cancer besides chemo like implanted radioactive beads but again this all depends on whether this is primary liver cancer, whether it has spread and how big it is.\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/livercancer.html\n\nThis is a US link because most of the UK links included too many ads.

Well this is a loaded question. My mother passed away last Sept. from breast cancer that had metastasized to her lungs and esophagus. My father died two years ago from cancer also. Both did chemo and all it did was make their last days on earth awful. I had thyroid cancer last year. I personally will never do chemo. I sincerely think that in 20 years or so we will speak of how barbaric it was. If you are not too far advanced, I would say eating as healthy as you can, no meat or dairy. Alternative medicines and such would also be my choice. I think it is up to the individual though. You have to remember that doctors make money off of chemo and the like. Research, research research!!!

get to a doctor imediately, the longer u wait with cancer, the worse things get. Cancer is cured by early detection and treatment.

If the cancer has metastasized and is truly stage 4, then ultimate long term recovery chances are very small. However there are always exceptions to every rule. Some types of previously incurable lymphomas are now curable with stem cell or bone marrow transplants, so at least some stage 4 cancers are now sometimes curable. Brain, lung, breast, cervical or ovarian cancer are not curable after reaching stage 4 unless there is a miracle (spontaneous regression). Another thing to remember is that staging is often not as precise as Drs would have you believe, so one Dr's stage 4 is another Dr's stage 2 or 3.  good luck to your relative

I've had 2 friends try alternative medicine - not for breast cancer - but I'd sure call an alternative doctor.  Both friends' cancer disappeared and they have been cancer-free for more than 12 years.  No side effects like chemo, either.\n\nDr. Nicholas Gonzales in NY,NY is the doc for one of my friends.  She goes for check ups just once a year, so you don't have to live there to be his patient.  If you look him up on the Internet, he doesn't look good.  BUt don't believe everything you read.\n\nBUT, what I know, is that my friend was given NO HOPE with regular medical treatments.  THey were going to take her lung and do aggressive chemo and they didn't expect her to live 4 more months even if they did that.  SO she went to Dr. Gonzales and she credits him with saving her life.\n\nI am not some sort of wierd health-nut, by the way.  I go to regular doctors.  I just know of these 2 friends who were healed by alternative medicine.\n\nGood luck!!

sure, but the correct answer depends of what type and stage of cancer. For some types of cancer only excision (surgery) is curative. Some types require both surgery and chemo. Others require a bone marrow transplant but no radiation. Relatively few cancers are treated only with radiation. You are asking a question with variable answers.

yeah, there is a good chance that you can cure cancer. to me, anything is possible. you just have to hope for the best and prepare for the worst.

Stanislaw Burzynski M.D. Ph.D. has a clinic in Houston Texas where he treats various kinds of cancer. Although he has employed this therapy with patients since 1976, his treatment is still not FDA approved and is therefore only available to those patients who meet rigid FDA criteria. \n\nDo a search, there's multiple sites. Read and decide for yourself.

Fortunately, there is much that you can do to help your body to fight cancer: Do not use tobacco products; avoid the harmful rays of the sun; exercise regularly and choose foods with less fat and consume more vegetables, whole grains, fruits and juices- especially cancer-preventive, phytonutrient-rich goji.\nGoji is oneof the only plant species on earth that contains the anti-cancer mineral germanium.  It's antioxidants and unique polysaccharides can halt the genetic mutations that can lead to cancer.\nIt is important to note that goji has also ben shown to enhance the effects of radiation in combating cancer, allowing a lower dose to be used. Other research indicates that goji can protect against some of the noxious side effects of chemotherapy and radiation.  In addition, patients receiving a cancer drug together with goji exhibited response rates up to 250 percent better than those obtained by the drug alone.  These advnced cancer patients experienced amazing regressions of malignant melanoma, renal cell carcinoma, colorectal carcinoma, lung cancer, nasopharyngeal carcinoma and malignant hydrothorax.  Remission of cancers in patients treated with goji lasted significantly longer than those treated without goji.\nFor cancer management- 4 to 8 ounces daily, taken with meals.\nI take goji as a preventative measure as I lost my Mother and Grandmother to breast cancer when they were way too young.  Goji is an adaptogen which works on all auto-immune deficiencies and has medical validation. There are 72 clinical studies published on pubmed.org under the name Lycium Barbarum.\nBest of luck and God Bless.

Bad news:  this is not curable\nGood news:  if the cancer mets are restricted to her bones only, she may have many years left.  Zometa (zoledronic acid) is definitely a good option, as is Taxotere (very well tolerated chemotherapy).  She DEFINITELY needs to have  Her-2 neu test to see if she would benefit from Herceptin (they should be able to perform this test on the tissue they have from her previous surgery, or on new tissue if she has another biopsy).  \n\nAlso, if she is getting her period regularly, her doctor may advise ovarian ablation or lupron therapy, since she is PR +.  \n\nGood luck on the PET scan.

There is a treatment for adenocarcinoma of stomach.\nFirst a list of investigations need to be done to determine the stage of the patient. Once it is staged , UR oncologist will be able to tell whether it immediately operable or not.\nThe treatment will include depending on the stage Surgery, Radiotherapy and Chemotherapy.\nIt will be advisable to get a PET-CT done or atleast a CT scan.\nIf it can be operated upon then, after the operation , depending on the histopathological report, post op radiotherapy and chemotherapy will be adviced.\nPlease consult an Oncologist.

I applaud you!!!\n\nBeing a 2 year breast cancer survivor, with a sister and aunt who have also had it and other cancers (colon & prostate) in the family.  I really appreciate all that you and the other scientists do to find cures for the "C" word.

Cancer is an erosion of the genes.. its when free radicals attack the molecular structure of cells and eventually destroy the cell.. it can attack any part of the body but I would say it must come through the blood or vital organs.. which process/carry foods.. I believe cancer is created from ingestion of free radical and toxic additives and preservatives.. apart from the obvious like asbestos which breaks up and then spears the tissue until it bleeds internally and becomes infected then cancerous.. or simply blocks the lungs which become clogged with mucos.. \n\noverall i strongly feel an anti-oxidant rich diet will help heal and avoid cancer.. i am about to go on a major detox.. and a friend of mine is a therapist.. he discovered a herb.. which is currently being "investigated" and tested.. but he claims he administered in trails to numerous patients.. some were completely healed others who were terminal had lengthy life entensions and no pain.. this plant is known to the aboriginal people.. who never get cancer incidently.. look into this.. i cant say the name- my mate will kill me.. but it is found in mercury rich soil.. i know that much.. and is a dar k green plant found in the desert which is very anti-oxidant rich.. a short leafy plant..  there is a simular plant recently discovered in africa too.. and a lot of new herbs and plants are now being checked out.. hopefuly theres still some left to discover.. maybe we should ask the aboriginals .. they might have all the cures we want.. if we listen to them..
