My mother-in-law passed away in 2007 within just a few months of her diagnosis, whereas today I suspect that same melanoma today would likely be entirely treatable. My father-in-law passed in 2015 from leukemia, and while I suspect things have improved, my understanding is that treatment outcomes are better for younger patients. Another extended family member was able to fight lung cancer for more than a decade. While we will likely never have a "cure" and from one type to the next the treatments and outcomes vary, I'd certainly agree that it's clear we are making big strides.
