I'm nowhere close to having much knowledge about cancer either, so anything I say is as a lay person. This comic made sense when considering how many cancers are "treated" and what people go through when they have cancer and undergo treatment. Of course, not all types (or targets) of cancers are the same, and we do have better outcomes for some and possibly no hope for others. I've also read in the past that with our current technology, we can detect cancers only when they become significantly big, by which time it's usually kind of serious for the person.

The root cause solution is very likely going to be through some sort of genetic engineering (which is again quite complex). Preventing (bad) mutations requires (in my ignorant opinion) observation over a longer period of time after we find that there's a mutation. This would also need a lot of study and knowledge to be collected across races, genders, ages, etc. In summary, I think we have very less knowledge/information and need a lot more information, time and effort to get to solutions that would work for any human on the planet.
