treatability

Can be remedied

Treatability is the quality of being treatable—capable of being addressed, remedied, or managed.

The word appears most often in medical and environmental contexts: The treatability of early-stage cancers has improved dramatically.

In wastewater management, treatability studies assess how effectively contaminants can be removed.
