But that's not a cure. If they don't take that drug, assuming it works, they still have the original mutation in the cancer cells.

To me personally, putting people into a permanent state of requiring drugs to survive, is not really cure. It's just maximizing income for those selling those drugs. And none of those drugs work exceedingly well; people still die, even if to other disease or frailties. I don't understand this hype in general.
