Where are we on the road to a cure / very successful treatment of cancer

Where are we on the road to a cure / very successful treatment of cancer?
I know that all forms of cancer are different, and that it's impossible to tell when, exactly -- or if -- a cure / highly successful treatment will be found. But, can someone take a stab at where we are? Are we getting closer, or still completely out in the open? Have they found any particularly promising treatments that could eventually develop into a cure? I guess, in general.. are we making progress, or at a standstill?

I have not seen any documentaries lately. But that last one I saw indicated that prevention of cancer in each organ will probable be the first break through. (Currently, Mega doses of Vitamin D have looked promising in preventing cancer in about 3 organs. My doctor is nuts for Mega doses of Vitamin D (not just for Calcium absorption anymore) If you Google Vitamin D research, you may be shocked. (Vitamin D helps us in about 50 different ways)

There is research everyday, that is getting us closer, to the more heard about cancers, unfortunatly the rare ones are not as close, which is sad. So if you get Cancer hope for one a lot of people get. Thanks to the brillant scientist, doctors, reasearch techs, pharmacies, and devoted rally donations, we will have the most edgy treatments, lord knows we have saved more people in the last 10 years then ever. Never think it is at a stand still, this is a passionate illness, and there is always someones trying to find the cure.

There will always be cancer for that is the way some cells change. Not all people get to the doctor early enough for the cures that may be developed. Having a vaccine for cancer would help, but with so many types of cancer, targeting one at a time would be hugely expensive. The most interesting cure may be with gene cures, which are now being developed. There are cures being worked on , but I fear cancer will ALWAYS be with us, no matter what we develop.How could you give everyone in the world a vaccine, even if we had one? Even with the disease we cured in this country with vaccines, the diseases show up in undeveloped countries because they do not have the preventative programs we do. I'd say we're making progress...slowly.
