Radiation and Chemotherapy failed. ?

In the past five years, five of my friends and family members have had cancer. They all had radiation and chemotherapy. They all died.

It seems to me that the current treatments for cancer are mostly a failure.

Why?

There are a lot of considerations in treating cancer. I just hoped that the doctor who treated your friends and family members were able to explain it very well. Radiation & chemotherapy are still the most reliable regimen in reducing the effects of cancer in a patient, though it's quite hard to rely on it too much especially when the cancer is severe or discovered late. Some patients seem to be on a clean bill of health yet eventually succumb to cancer for several reasons.

I really appreciate your reply. From my experience, I realized that Radiation and chemotherapy do not give 100% cure therefore I cannot say they are reliable.
