      As there are many different types of cancer there will not be a single date when a cure will be found for all!

      I would expect the death rate for all cancers to steadily drop every 5 years until eventually they all reach zero!….probably in about 200 years time!! But it will take scientists working together all the time to keep the rate dropping!

    That is a very good question. All cancers are very different and unfortunately there is no 1 drug that cures it all. All patients are very different in their genes and their environment. But there is a lot of research going on so watch this space!

    There is already a lot of cure for various types of cancer. The best question would be how to change our lifestyle so that we don’t develop cancer at all. And it is possible!!!
