I learned this from my Chemistry prof: we actually are able to "cure" cancer now, if we are able to make accurate early diagnosis. If we detect the cancer early enough that it is still local (not yet spreading to other organs in your body), a surgery will do the job. That's why early diagnosis is soooo important and is a big focus right now. What about metastasis, you might ask. We have researches going on in this branch, too. And the big findings I heard is about immunotherapy techs. I'm not in this side of the field so cannot say much. But don't be sad, it's actually a fascinating time to be alive :)
