Not necessarily: While chemotherapy is the only medical treatment we have for cancer, it is not always effective. However effectiveness depends on the goal of the treatment. It may lead to an increase in survival, or a reduction in symptoms. In many instances we know we cannot cure an advanced cancer. However, a good discussion with your doctor about what you and they expect from treatment is critical.
