A healthy reminder that these articles are generally sponsored by the company developing the specific drug.
Cancers will be mostly treatable within our lifetimes though (in many cases already are). All the pieces are there technology wise.
Along similar lines, I remember reading about a drug/treatment about 15-20 years ago that had similarly extremely positive results, and nothing since. That one worked by reactivating mitochondria in the cancer cells so that they could trigger apoptosis and the cancer would kill itself.
