Fair enough, but there are new treatments.

New chemo therapy drugs are coming out every year with fewer and fewer side effects. They are designed to look specifically for cancer cells, but obviously are far from perfect.

We're also able to do much more accurate radiations now to minimize cell death.

Plus treatment plans are becoming more type specific.

More people are surviving. Many cancers that were death sentences 10 years ago are now usually cured. I can understand why you're not satisfied with radiation as a treatment, but it is more often than not a very effective one.
