Treatment - the process of providing medical care
Practice - The actual application or use of an idea, belief, or method as opposed to theories about such application or use.
The word "cure" cannot be applied in the medical profession which is why "treatments" are "practiced". A cure manifests from homeostasis. Homeostasis is simply the body returning to a natural state from natural input.
To better understand what the medical profession is doing to cancer we only need look at the use of antibiotics and pesticides. By attempts at direct annihilation of nature we are confused as to how nature will fight back. In these attempts we are forcing the evolution of larger problems that tend to do a better job at getting the message across.
So you don't have a problem with a cure, you have a problem with the use of legal jargon? Is this a useful thought?
