Depends upon the type of cancer: prostate cancers, some lymphomas and leukemias and skin cancers have an excellent prognosis if caught early.
Some types of cancer, such as liver cancer and pancreatic cancer, still have a poor prognosis, even when caught at a relatively early stage.
Most cancers are subject to "staging" and once you know the type of cancer and your stage, then each type of cancer has a statistical "5 year survival rate", which gives you a broad sense of your prognosis. For some it can be as high as 90% or above. For some it is as low as 2%.
