Where talking about murder, so its not like a choice between cancer and a cold.

Normally a treatment that cures cancer in some people, would extend lives, but if it doesn't, if the cancer treatment slightly reduced cancer deaths, but the group receiving it died as soon as the group that did not, then it wasn't a way to save lives. If they died of toxicity of the treatment, or if the treatment left them compromised and vulnerable to some infection which kills them, they would still be just as dead as if they died from cancer. Saying "but its a cancer treatment and they didn't die of cancer so its a success" just doesn't cut it.
