I've got a couple that roll around in my head, radiation therapy will be seen as barbaric at some point. Assuming we don't burn ourselves off this earth in the next few years I think we'll see some progress on this. Moderna is known for their COVID shot, however they have basically eliminated melanoma with a tailored injection. Last I looked at it, it was in it's mid stage or something and was almost 100% effective.

Oncolytic Virotherapy!

There was a news story recently about a virologist who possibly cured her own stage 3 cancer using this technique. Obviously more study is needed but it looks promising!
