I'm not sure why this matters. In the end we're all going to die, death is inescapable. The ultimate form of your rationalization is that we should simply not treat anything because we die all the same.

Treatment isn't nearly as bad to go through and long term survival rates are higher. People can live longer with cancer while still being fully functioning.
