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.
