Chemotherapy and pain treatment are now available for patients with cancer. Previously incurable and devastating cancers can be helped by a combination that includes surgery, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. Recent trends show a significant improvement in 5-year survival rates from 39% in the sixties to 43% in the seventies to 50% in the eighties.
