    Yes, but that’s not what you said:

    if the cancer treatment has been going on for 7 years and you still have cancer then they’re correct in saying it’s not effective.

    Many cancers are chronic conditions which have to be managed. Like other conditions, still “having it” does not mean the treatment was ineffective. No medical practice is going to try to treat cancer knowing that a treatment would be ineffective. They seek to do it for a very good reason and to suggest otherwise means the government or insurer is choosing their own money over a person’s life.
