No, cancer is not cancer.

Tell that to the people living with it...

The person with a little skin removed because it's carcinogenic is
the same as the person with incurable matastic breast cancer?

No, but the guy with incurable metastatic liver cancer is.



No one has said that Snow's cancer is incurable.

Metastatic colon cancer is stage 4, just like Elizabeth Edwards'
metastatic breast cancer. 2 years survival with agressive, combined
systemic chemo and hepatic artery infusion therapies is 86%. With
systemic chemo alone, it's down around 25%. HAI only works for isolated
liver metastases. It does not help for diffuse liver metastases or
metastases elsewhere in the body. For metastatic breast cancer with
systemic chemotherapy, the 2 year survival rate is 47%. That's almost
double the chemo-alone rate for metstatic colon cancer.
