We're making good strides in some areas and others are more resistant to breakthroughs.
This even works in different aspects of the same thing: We have the ability to genetically modify T-cells to kill some kinds of cancers, but it's more difficult to use that against solid tumors, which create their own microenvironments inside of them, than blood cancers.

But, of course, we keep making progress, and there's been some promising results in making CAR T-cell therapies that work against solid tumors:

We advance piecemeal and some things are more difficult than others, but we definitely advance.
