      Well, the more we learn about it, the more likely that will be. We can already treat a few types of cancer quite successfully. The thing is, not all cancers are the same, so a “cure” for one cancer may do nothing for another. But this is what research is about, and advances and discoveries are made all the time. The newest treatment type, personalised medicine, shows great promise. So I’m gonna say yes!

      Hmm im not sure if there will ever be a full cure for cancer but we will definitely be able to control it better. We have come a long way in understanding, diagnosing and treating cancer, so I honestly think we will definitely make some significant breakthroughs in the years to come.
