      Many cancers can be cured these days, especially if they are found early enough. But each cancer is different and some respond better to treatment than others. This means I think it is highly unlikely we will ever be able to make a complete cure for all cancers. One of the key things as well is trying to cure the cancer without side effects. You might know but people who have radiotherapy and chemotherapy often get very ill and weak from the side effects so it would be nice to get rid of these.
