If the gangrene is treated before it gets too severe and spreads to far then yes gangrene can be cured and stopped without having to amputate the infected part of the body.

My Grandpa has Gangrene of the leg and luckily it was treated soon enough that he didn't need his leg amputated but if he had waited any longer and let the gangrene spread the doctor said he would have had to have his leg amputated.

So if you or someone has gangrene of any part of the body or suspect you do have gangrene get to the emergency room because gangrene is a serious medical emergency and needs medical treatment.

If gangrene is left untreated you could end up dead because gangrene can be fatal when it spreads and gets more serious.
