      Probably not, cancer cells can change (mutate) over time to make them slightly different, making them potentially harder to kill with the same treatment. Also the same type of cancer can be slightly different in each person, that is why some people may respond better to treatment than others.

      However, I do believe that treatments can get better and they can hopefully increase the life expectancy of patients as well as reduce pain
