      Good one…
      If I had all the money in the world, I would spend a lot of it on more research.

      I don’t think there will ever be a complete cure for cancer, because there are hundreds of types of cancer and they will all respond to different types of treatment.
      And cancer is when something goes wrong in a cell and it starts growing out of control. That’s something that will always happen, because in general anything can go wrong. Hopefully we will find ways of detecting cancer very early and find effective treatments so that we can treat them quickly, but in my opinion cancers are not diseases that we can eradicate in the same way as some infectious diseases.
