  Actually, AFAIK, currently certain cancers have a much better prognosis
than they had eg. 20 years ago. Many of the treatments (such as chemotherapy)
have got much better (higher chance of success, less side-effects).

  There's still no cure for AIDS, but with modern medication a patient's
lifespan can be extended quite significantly. Not so 20 years ago.
