right i wasn't talking about incremental improvements, Which there have been many. But there hasn't been a fundamental breakthrough to achieve what gp is describe for 99% of advanced cancers.

The breakthroughs have been happening right under your nose. For example, when they do a biopsy now you get incredible detail about the subtype of cancer/cells and details that help target treatment.
I'm not the only person with this kind of story of rapid debulking, that's why someone else chimed in with the medical term. The miracle isn't my one story; the modern miracle of medicine and the fight against cancer is that my story IS one of thousands every month that leave MD Anderson (just one hospital) and have their lives literally extended. In my case, a decade so far with no more trouble, knock on wood.
I think you cannot expect a blanket solution for cancer. Cancers are all extremely different. We will have thousands of breakthroughs for these myriad of cancer types.
you didn't share what exactly the miracle was in your case so let me pick the most common form of cancer.
What is the breakthrough for prostate cancer ?
LU-177? Abiraterone/*Lutamide?

There is no such thing for prostate cancer. Yes you can target BRCA with olaprib but that only works for little bit. But median OS is an improvement of only 4 months ( 15 vs 19). Sure you can live extra 4 months with heavily compromised blood definciency but hardly a breakthrough.

Not sure what makes you say this? We've only had improvements in survival for prostate cancer for early detection. All other improvements have been marginal at best. Chemo and hormone supression therapy are still the mainstay since the 70s. Like you are literally getting the same treatment for prostate cancer that ppl were getting 50 yrs ago.
