For breast cancer there is a new FDA approved drug called it Herceptin that shows considerable promise for those that catch it in the early stages in not only curing the cancer but preventing relapses. it is still used in conjunction with other conventional forms of treatment however and science is prolonging life with cocktail drugs on other forms so we are making progress. Hopefully, if there are other new developments in research others will post it here.
- Yes, there is a great deal of trial success (soon to be used on humans) in 2009. Scientists in both the U.S. and Canada have had a 100% success rate with white blood cells attacking cancer in rats. Unlike Chemo that depletes the immune system this type of therapy will boost the immune system.

Cancer seems to come in many flavors with many different causes. Different treatments for different cancers are slowly making progress. Some cancers seem to have different properties from others.

Another researcher will find a treatment for a particular cancer that can not be cured at present. At least, that is the way it has worked so far.

This depends upon the cancer - the source cells, the location, the invasiveness, etc. Some cancers can be cured with simple surgery - cut out the tumor and the horse is fine. Other cancers can be beaten into submission with radiation therapy and chemotherapy, similar to what humans receive (although the doseage is different and side effects like diarrhea and hair loss are minimized). Still other cancers have no cure - they are progressive and fatal.
