I once heard someone say that curing cancer is like curing infectious disease; it's an entire class of problems that requires a variety of tools. In the past couple decades, there are particular cancers that have gone from being uniformly deadly to being usually survivable, or at least much more survivable. Others have remained unsolved. But the point is that even once we make giant leaps, how you get treated and what your outcome looks like is going to vary a lot from cancer to cancer.
