      It’s hard to know. Cancer is basically a word to cover lots of different diseases which are all caused in similar ways, they all can act very differently though. Some types of cancer we’re probably very close to curing (or we can at least make most people better) other types we know much less about and it could be a long time until we find a cure. Although all of that is just with what we know at the moment, someone might discover something amazing tomorrow which would change all that!
