treatable
This term carries a hopeful connotation in medical contexts, shifting the focus from the existence of a disease to the possibility of recovery. It is distinct from "curable," which implies the complete eradication of a condition; "treatable" may simply mean that symptoms can be managed or the progression slowed to allow for a functional quality of life.
In industrial or environmental contexts, the word describes the technical feasibility of purifying a substance. It suggests that while a material may be contaminated or hazardous, there exists a known chemical or mechanical process capable of rendering it safe or usable.
