We're still terrible at treating cancer though. And the treatments very likely cause other health issues that can actually reduce life expectancy.

We've massively improved in cancer treatment in just the past 20 years alone. Every year we get more and more precise with our ability to both map and target tumors, which in turn means less damage to the body as a whole during treatment and better odds of tumor elimination. This goes for both chemo and radiation.
