Yeah, the last few friends/family I know who were diagnosed with cancer in the 2020’s were all treated with the updated standard of care, using drugs/treatments/procedures developed in the previous decade. Even procedures that were developed a while back, like bone marrow transplants to treat leukemia, have been totally transformed to be less invasive, more targeted, more effective. The doctors also tend to choose the treatment based on certain genetic profiles of the patient or the tumor itself, with fewer side effects or higher effectiveness or both.
? There’s advances all the time.
