> It's just kind of unbelievable that cancer remains so elusive

One of the problems with cancer is that it's really an umbrella term that covers a huge variety of problems to solve. There are many, many ways for the normal cell lifecycle to get disrupted, and they will all respond differently to different treatments. I'm not sure if a single technology will ever appear to allow all cancers to be treated.
