Yes, there is treatment for all types of cancer in every stage, grade of tumor, for all age groups, race, and sexes. Treatment depends also heavily upon the overall health and age of the patient. Because of the vast array of cancers and treatment not all outcomes will be known. But every cancer has had survivors. What you need to know about traditional treatment is that it is approached by 'protocol' . . in other words a doctor uses a 'set treatment' that has worked for others with the same disease, same tumor grade, and same stage . . that is a 'plan' or a 'protocol'. Usually the 'protocol' is in a great, thick book and it includes information and details on exactly the amount of drugs to use, how long, complications . . all useful information for the patient.
A protocol for a specific type of cancer can include in no particular order:
Chemotherapy
Radiation
Surgery
That is a very simple list and can become more complicated when you add Radiofrequency Ablation, Chemoperfusion, Clinical Trials, and a host of other experimental solutions.

cancer treatment will be entirely based on your unique situation. Certain types of cancer respond very differently to different types of treatment, so determining the type of cancer is a vital step toward knowing which treatments will be most effective. The cancer's stage (how widespread it is) will also determine the best course of treatment, since early-stage cancers respond to different therapies than later-stage ones. Your overall health, your lifestyle, and your personal preferences will also play a part in deciding which treatment options will be best for you. Not all types of treatment will be effective in your situation, so be sure that you understand your options. a good place to start is american cancer society.

Cancer treatments vary so much. Many times the treatment has bad side affects. This is not a correct forum for your question.

All types of treatments for cancer has slim chance of survival
and the majority of those inflicted with the disease usually will
suffer a lot before dying.
It's a sad thing that there's no positive cure for cancer and some
form of treatment by chemotherapy can prolong the illness to a certain extent.
