Allopathic statistics are nonsense. Early diagnosis is meaningless. No chronic metabolic disease is curable through mechanical manipulation of the body. The cancer industry triumphantly impoverishes the terminally-ill patient physically, morally & financially. Cancer doesn't exist in the wilderness amongst animals. They consume pits, seeds, grass-es and the rumens of their prey that are rich in Amygdalin. Amygdalin is the control, preventive & cure for cancer. Dr. John Beard discovered 100 yrs. ago that trophoblast cells & cancer cells are one-and-the-same. It's of no relevance whether good people organize cancer-awareness events, join support groups, pat one another on the back or urge frequent screenings. Cancer, just like scurvy, is a deficiency disease. The public plays into the myths of big Cancer, thereby sacrificing themselves & family to this easily-avoided disease. I don't see why any cancer sufferer should be consoled in the knowledge that they did "the right thing" by dying an A.M.A./ F.D.A.-prescribed death. I'll go on about my cancer-free life consuming Japanese plum seeds daily while the majority of folks religiously takes their radium. Applying institutionally-sanctified treatments for the symptoms of a metabolic disease provides no hope. Trips to the periodontist to address the shrinking, bleeding gums of a person suffering from scurvy makes the same sense.
