the treatment itself often causes later death from secondary cancers and other treatment-related diseases. And along the way, the treatment will enter the books as a success because the patient survived for just five years. Someone who dies of pneumonia, because his or her immune system was destroyed by chemotherapy, for example, is generally not counted as a “cancer” death. Likewise, someone whose liver is destroyed by chemo, and dies of liver disease, is also not counted as a cancer death. Cancer mortality as a result of treatment is grossly understated because the cause of death is taken from a death certificate. The direct cause of death may have been liver failure, but the liver failure was caused by the treatment. Because of the way deaths are recorded, it makes “cure” rates look far better than they actually are.
Whatever happens, this boy and his family have suffered a violation of human rights. Just because the majority of the world doesn't view health and death the way they do, doesn't make them wrong.
