Yeah if you somehow manage to freeze all other scientific progress, you would be right. Otherwise, our children will likely never know what cancer even is, aside from history books.

Give it another 10 years or so and we will be able to target any kind of cancer cell and destroy it. A harder task might be to prevent cancer, but in the end it doesn't really matter. It will be like the common cold.

My children know what cancer is. Progress on cancer prevention and treatment has been a slow grind with only slight improvements in survival rates year by year. I'll bet you that 100 years from now cancer will still be one of the top 5 leading causes of death.

For details I recommend the Peter Attia podcast episode: "#121 – Azra Raza, M.D.: Why we’re losing the war on cancer". It's long but packed with accurate scientific information by someone at the forefront of research and patient care.
