Emphysema can't be cured, but treatments can help relieve symptoms and slow the progression of the disease. Depending on the severity of your emphysema, your doctor may suggest one or more different types of surgery.

It most likely can be cured, in tests associated with mice it HAS been cured. I should also point out that pharmaceutical companies will LOSE money if cures are given rather than treatments, so until something is actually done about these greedy companies then don't expect cures to be happening soon.
