Even if they get an operation or treatment, 100% assurance of success is never given. BUT, at least that patient has the option of choosing or rejecting procedures or treatments outlined to them.

The difference is that any cancer treatment that is funded by the health system will have undergone clinical trials to demonstrate that it has a net beneficial effect. Treatments that haven't gone through these clinical trials, no matter how promising, are not funded by the health system. That doesn't remove the option of choosing such a procedure (any more than it removes the option of going for the Liberation surgery), but the health system doesn't pay for it.
