But why this desease doesn’t have any cure?

There’s is uncountable types of cancer. Every cancer is caused by a different set of mutations. When the tumour grows because of the abnormal cell devision, more and more mutations accumulate from that. Which means that every tumour has an completely individual set of mutations, so it is impossible that a drug which worked for one cancer patient, will have effect on another patient.

This is another reason why fighting cancer is the toughest. Cancer has physical, mental, emotional, social, and financial consequences which starts with the diagnosis and continue through treatment and goes even after beyond. Dealing with cancer is a life-changing event for most of the people.
