[cancercured] Re: Cancers that respond to chemo?

The "malignancies...highly responsive to chemotherapy" are essentially
choriocarcinoma, acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL), lymphosarcoma,
[Hodgkin's, Burkitt's, & some other lymphomas], embryonal testicular
cancer, Wilms' tumor, Ewing's sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma,
retinoblastoma, a few rare cancers of childhood (Moss, 2000, p. 81;
Moss added ovarian and premenopausal breast cancer to this list as of
2002), acute nonlymphocytic leukemia [20% long-term remission],
ovarian [10-20% long-term remission] and SCLC lung cancer [10%
long-term remission].
