It'd be cool to be surprised by this, but I kinda think "curing" cancer is nearly a big a fantasy as AGI. What is there to cure? Cells being damaged? Treatment will continue to be refined, sure, but don't expect to ever see a panacea.
also,
YOU DID THAT ALREADY AND GOT FUCK ALL TO SHOW FOR IT WHAAT ARE YOU TALKING ABUT
<insert Far Cry 3's Vaas quote>
You make a little robot and tell it to go in there and get that cancer
you make a submarine and put a dude in it and shrink the whole thing and inject it into the patient, like in that documentary i saw
Well yeah if you're american workers lives are cheaper than robots
The workers' submarines will be made by OceanGate

yeah "cancer" is a pattern of cellular behavior and the causes of it are myriad and depend on the type of cell that's fucking up.
there's almost certainly never going to be a generic cure or prevention for all cancers. maybe some scifi shit with human cloning and brain transplants but that's not fixing the cancer in the body that has it.
