Yes it is. If the cancer is found early your doctor would recommend treatment or even surgery to get rid of it. There is a chance that it could come back, so you would have regular screenings afterwards.
When localized/regional, it has a 5-year survival rate of 100% and is almost always cured. When it spreads, the chances drop significantly.
In many cases it is. I would strongly recomend sitting down with your doctor and talking about treatment options.
