But in quite a few cases, it actually is that clear-cut. There are forms of cancer which are curable, full stop. Where the survival rates after proper treatment beginning sufficiently early approach 100 %, and where the survival rates of those forgoing treatment (or in places where treatment is unavailable) approach 0 %. Then you have a lot of cancers where the science is a lot more fuzzy. And then you have the ones where you're just Shit Outta Luck and even the best medical science can offer is only palliative.

That doesn't change the fact that fuzzy things happen, and have been reported to happen objectively.

It's a continuum - not all of the action happens at either extreme.
