Heard it b4

While I hope this finally it I've heard of these promising therapies coming onto the market in 3,5,10 years before, only never to be heard from again. Or they turn out to be duds, or impossibly high priced or withdrawn because of unacceptably fatal side-effects.

It's as if the multi-billion dollar cancer industry (drug companies, hospitals, oncologists) doesn't want anything coming to market that will finally put THEM out of business. Sorry to be so cynical.
