4. Melanoma of the Skin
5-year survival rate: 94%
Melanoma is highly curable, especially when its detected at an early stage (which is exactly why you should run to the doctor as soon as you see an unusual growth or mole on your body). However, the issue with melanoma is that it’s quite likely to spread to other areas at a quick rate, which means cancer will enter more serious stages causing the survival rates to drop drastically. Surprisingly, the 5-year survival rate of this cancer among Whites is much higher than in Blacks, 94% to a meager 69%.
