"Cancer" is such a broad term, with ~200 different "types". I agree that "cancer" is a huge problem (my brother had childhood leukemia at 9 months until he was about 6 years old), and its effects on the family cannot be understated. Unfortunately, we've only begun to scratch the surface towards a cure for very few of the 200 types of cancer out there.

That being the case, we still can't rule out the possibility of general-purpose treatment methods.
