The medical advances in cancer treatment have been immense. From simply cutting out tumors, to early chemo treatments that essentially poisoned the patient in hope that the cancer would be eradicated before the patient dies from the chemo itself, to more modern therapies that target the cancer cells only. If we ever do "cure" cancer it won't be a universal magic pill or treatment.
