Thank you for your comment

Thank you for your comment and for my clerical error. I believe my intention was up to 80% for cure rate for AML.
As far as cancers that do have an 97% cure rate, those would include stage IA melanoma, papillary and follicular thyroid carcinoma in young people and early prostate cancer with radical prostactectomy.
Best wishes for the continued health of your child who is a pediatric AML survivor. I totally agree with you that both Internal Medicine doctors and Family Medicine doctors should receive training in Survivorship. It is a very important lesson.
