In development, yes: There are dozens of types of cancer; what helps one may not help another. New drugs are being developed all the time but few help dramatically. A promising new class of drugs that boost immune function is being developed- see http://nyti.Ms/15jignu cannabis oil may be very helpful but more research is needed- seehttp://bit.Ly/1gkisgy chemosensitivity assays hold promise: http://bit.Ly/18ixujs.

Yes.: There are many new drugs for many different types of cancer. Each year, drug companies are testing new therapies. It would be helpful to know if you are asking about a specific type of cancer.
