Simple answer, NO.

Yes, spontaneous regressions have been clinically noted in some types of cancers - but only very rarely and only for a few types of cancer. It is thought to be an immunological response. It would sure help to know which of the 200+ diseases lumped together under the word "cancer" you are asking about. I never write one word answers for cancers. It is never that simple.

As the doctor has said, on occasion it can happen but it is very rare. If this question was "is it possible to win the lottery?" I'm wondering how many people would answer 'no' ?

YES. (This is the one word answer you asked) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- But please note that - Cancer is not only one type of disease but it is over 200 different types . So the answering is complicating. To understand cancer you have to understand that the disease begins as one cell that for reasons unknown loses the ability to stop growing. Any cell within the human body can lose that ability to stop growing, any cell located anywhere within the body. So a breast cell will become breast cancer and even if that cell travels to the brain it is still a breast cancer cell. So, a cancer starts in that one cell and than begins to replicate endlessly until a tumor is formed. Some higher grade cancer cells grow very quickly,and so low grade some grow very slowly. And this is even that needed to be considered. So, cancer is a progressive disease that starts out tiny and than grows indefinitely into larger and larger tumors and more eventually begins to split into more tumors. those malignant tumors than have the ability to metastasize and send microscopic replicas into the blood stream and relocate to different parts of the body and start a whole new cancer colony. So, to answer your question is if you find cancer when it is tiny and small before it has a chance to grow and multiply and send out metastatic cells than it may be removed and no further treatment required. So the sooner a cancer is found and treated the better chance for survival. There are also very rare cases where some cancers do go away without treatment called spontaneous cure in children under the age of two there is a type of cancer that has been known to resolve itself as the child ages . .but there are never any guarantees that will happen (neuroblastoma). And that is the thing with spontaneous remission no one knows who or what type of cancer might have this happen. In the majority of cases the cancer just continues to grow and treatment is necessary for survival. If cancer could just go away without treatment than people would not be dying from cancer for thousands of years. (Cancer is an ancient disease that has always been around). Untreated the overwhelming majority of cancers end up killing the patient.-

If you mean to ask will the cancer not get any worse without treatment, then the answer is yes. That conclusion was reached by cancer researcher Dr.Hardin Jones in the 1950's. See this link for more info. http://www.worldwithoutcancer.org.uk/hoax.html http://www.whale.to/cancer/jones_h.html

Study says some cancers go away without treatment Cancer researchers have known for years that it was possible in rare cases for some cancers to go away on their own. There were occasional instances of melanomas and kidney cancers that just vanished. And neuroblastoma, a very rare childhood tumor, can go away without treatment. But these were mostly seen as oddities รข€” an unusual pediatric cancer that might not bear on common cancers of adults, a smattering of case reports of spontaneous cures. And because almost every cancer that is detected is treated, it seemed impossible even to ask what would happen if cancers were left alone. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2008431871_cancerstudy25.html?syndication=rss

YES. I love how all these people say it's rare. It is rare for spontaneous regression to be documented because cancers are always treated! We simply don't know how common it is for them to go away on their own. The truth is that no one knows whether it's rare or common. If you count "in situ" cancers, I bet it's very common. In situ cervical cancers are known to regress all the time!
