There are so many different types of cancer out there. I lost a Black Russian last year to malignant lymphoma. I chose to do chemo treatments as she was only 3 1/2 yrs old when diagnosed. She did not respond to the treatments, and we had to put her to sleep on the Mothers Day weekend.
Cancer human, or canine is a scourge! We do have a few members on here that have had Yorkies with cancer, a search through this forum should yield some threads about their experiences.
Generally speaking cancer does seem to be on the rise across all breeds, and some breeds have a huge risk, Golden Retreivers for instance.
I do hope for the best for your friend and their dog.
