Stage Two: The main treatment for this type of cancer also involves surgery.
The cure rate for this type of cancer is generally in the 40 to 50% range.
Stage Three: The main treatment here includes chemotherapy and radiation.
The cure rates is generally less than 60%.
Stage Four: The main treatment involved here also includes chemotherapy and radiation. The cure rate at this stage is less than 80%.
