I would go to the website for Cancer treatment centers for America. Also try searching for them on webmd.com. Obviously no treatment will lead to death. Traditional treatment (chemotherapy, radiation, surgery), do help with certain types of cancers, but cancers like stage 4 skin cancer and kidney cancer are very resistant to chemo and radiation. Leukemia is also very resistant to traditional therapy when it's in it's later stages. I don't have a lot of information on alternative treatments other than oxygen therapy for leukemia. When you can't have chemo because your blood levels are too low, sometimes oxygen therapy can bring our levels up and allow time for chemotherapy treatments.

Type the different treatments in on your google bar. They will show up there. You have a lot of reading so good luck. My input is that all cancers and patients are different as so will the type of treatment.

It varies with the type of cancer. Say for instance, Acute Leukaemia patients have limited time to live - but many have outlived the doctor's prediction. How? with Chemo of course. But those who had it, said at the time of diagnosis, that they will not take the treatment with a resignation: No treatment. What's the point? Another one: Pancreatic Cancer - like the one which Patrick Swaze has - much publicized in the media. Doctors and journals will tell you that this type of cancer is almost a death sentence. Death, within 3 to 6 months is imminent because by the time of diagnosis and discovery, the disease already has spread to all the organs. The discovery comes only when it is too late because one does not feel anything when it is developing. Such a patient also says: No treatment, what's the point? But, those who had colon cancer or various other types (numerous to list) have lived very long - very very long - with medication and supervised treatments. They lead normal lives. So on and so forth. So what kind is best? It depends what kind one has and which patient you are asking.
