      Good question, I think finding cures to different types of cancers in probably best to aim for. Lots of different things can cause cancer and it can even just randomly happen, so it would be best to find ways to help remove it when it does occur.

      Another issue is that lots of cancer cells can change over time, which can make them resistant to cures.

      I think the best thing is to look for ways to reduce the amount of pain that people with cancer have and find the best way to help them live longer.
