The words like असाध्य और लाइलाज mean same as incurable. Achikistya is not a Proper Hindi word.
eg - कैंसर अब नये अनुसंधानो के बाद असाध्य या लाइलाज बिमारी नही रही। इसका इलाज सम्भव है। With new inventions, Cancer is no longer incurable. It can be treated.

असाध्य is has meaning more close to undoable, impracticable ..than incurable..
but sometimes may be used as incurable
while अचिकित्सा and लाइलाज are of same meaning "incurable"..
difference is अचिकित्सा is of sanskrit origin..
here चिकित्सा means cure, or treatment, therapy adding अ infront negates the word(hindi way of negating a word) making it " in"curable..
similarly लाइलाज (لاعلاج )is of arabic origin.
इलाज meaning treatment, cure., therapy.in urdu/( from arabic)
adding ला (لا )infront will negate it ( it's arabic way of negating the word) , so making it "in"curable..
लाइलाज is more commonly used in spoken hindi as urdu ( that is hindustaani with lots of Persian, arabic words)was spoken commonly during that time..but since hindi now is more standardised by borrowing higher vocabulary from sanskrit, now you may come across अचिकित्स some standard books but rarely almost never in spoken language..
hope it helps..
