Formerly when it comes to cancer cure, there are no absolute guarantees, but that was in the past. Now doctors have greater success finding and treating some types of the disease than others.
Generally, some experts believe that a person who stays cancer about free 5 years after a diagnosis has better chances of full recovery.
The five cancers that can be cured includes:

1. Thyroid Cancer

For people with thyroid cancer, about 98% of them live five years and above after diagnosis depending on tissue type. The thyroid, a butterfly-shaped gland in your neck, produces hormones your body needs to burn calories, control your heartbeat, and perform other functions. Papillary is the most common type of thyroid cancer, and it grows very slowly. Even when tumors starts to spread into other nearby tissues, doctors can treat and even cure this disease by performing surgery to remove the gland. After surgery, people take medicine to replace the hormones the thyroid produces.
Doctors also are now finding thyroid cancers earlier than ever before, which makes them easier to get rid of.
A type of the disease called anaplastic thyroid cancer has a 5-year survival rate of only 7%, but it's very uncommon.
There are no suggested screening tests for thyroid cancer. Most people only discover find they have a tumor when they or a doctor feel lumps in their neck. Sometimes the problem is detected when doctor carries out an ultrasound for another reason. Talk to your doctor if you feel a lump in your neck or if you have any symptoms such as breathing or swallowing problems.

2. Prostate Cancer

Many prostate tumors grow slowly or not at all and there is 99% survival rate, five years after diagnosis. In fact, many men with these types of tumors can live for years without problems.
A cure becomes less likely when prostate cancer spreads, a condition called metastatic cancer which is harder to treat. A small percentage of prostate cancers can quickly spread to distant parts of the body. When that happens, only about 29% of men live 5 years after they're diagnosed. The good news is that doctors mostly catch most prostate cancers early before they spread.
There are two ways to check for prostate cancer:
One is the digital rectal exam that involves your doctor checking inside your bottom with a gloved finger.
The second is a blood test called the PSA test, which measures levels of a protein which is often higher in men with prostate cancer. Levels of PSA can increase for reasons other than prostate cancer, so some medical groups say men who have a normal risk for the disease shouldn't get the test. Discuss with your doctor about whether you need testing and alert your doctor if you notice any problems like trouble peeing or blood in your urine.

3. Breast Cancer -- Early Stage

Most women with breast cancer still live five years and above after diagnosis and stages of 0 and 1 - 99% to 100%. Modern medicine has greatly helped in combating breast cancer especially in its early stage.
A cure is less likely if breast cancer isn’t detected early and starts to spread. Regular mammograms can help you live longer. Medical groups have different procedures on when you should get them. For people with risk of breast cancer, some groups recommend screening tests every other year starting at age 50. The American Cancer Society recommends women starting at age 45 get yearly mammograms and those ages 40 – 44 should have the choice to begin yearly mammograms if they would like.

4. Testicular Cancer

Survival rate of testicular cancer shows that 95.1% of people are alive, five years after diagnosis, if cancer is detected early before the tumor starts to spread to other body parts. Testicular cancer can be cured by performing surgery to remove one or both testicles that have a tumor. If a man has only one testicle removed (which is the norm), the other will usually make enough hormones for him to still have kids. For cancers that have spread far, surgery and radiation or chemotherapy can be used for treatment. Stem cell transplant is sometimes performed. Doctors credit the chemo drug cisplatin, introduced in the 1970s, with major boosts in survival rates in its advanced stage.
There are treatments that work well even for advanced stage of testicular cancer. The 5-year survival rate for this type of tumor is 73%, which still quite high for a cancer in the late stages.
There are no screening tests for testicular cancer. Men should consult their doctor immediately if they feel a lump in a testicle, or if one becomes larger than the other.

5. Melanoma

About 97.1% of people with Melanoma still live five years after diagnosis. Melanoma skin cancer can usually be spotted in its early stages if it hasn’t spread beyond the skin surface. Doctors can cure it with surgery.
A cure is less likely if melanoma isn’t detected early before it spreads to other parts of the body. It is usually difficult to treat once it goes beyond the skin's surface. Only 15%-20% of people who find melanomas after they've spread to other body parts will still be alive 5 years after their diagnosis.
You can check your skin for large, dark, unusually shaped, or raised blotches. It is vital to check your back and your scalp, scrotum, and in between your toes for any anomaly. Go for regular screening. It's harder to see melanomas in these places. Consult your doctor immediately if you notice any of these changes.
