Is cancer curable if detected in time? What is "In Time" for cancers?

Regards,

Atta.

Atta,
Under "full story"
It claims to detect cancer cells in the blood.
"The new method could detect cancer patients using less than 3ml of blood
in test reactions between human lymphocytes and florescence reagent.
Although this method can not specify the location of cancer, this method
informs the presence of cancer in a body."

A lymphocyte is a type of white blood cell involved in the human body's
immune system.
Lymphocytes are white blood cells that accumulate when there is chronic
injury or irritation or infection.

I don't think it's specific enough for many common cancers. Might be
useful for a few. (Maybe Steph knows).

For the 65% of cancers which are cured, "in time" is clearly "in time"
