I'm not that knowledgeable, but I've been following it.
My impression is that it's quite boring. Most treatments fail at later stages, and nobody talks about them anymore, some treatments are successful and get to market, what means that chemo for a kind of cancer now has less collateral effects, and a higher surviving rate. Nothing has a huge, world changing impact the press makes claims it would have.
Keep repeating that, and you get the nice increasing survival rates for cancer you see on the statistics... What is a huge world changing impact, but only in aggregate.
