And there almost certainly will not be one single cure for « cancer ». With personalised medicine we may be able to cure certain types.

Hate to quibble, but it's cancerS, more than one disease, which is one reason we'll probably never have one cure for THEM. We do have pretty good remedies for some of them.

It’s naive to consider cancer as a single disease. Cure rates for many specific cancers are high but they are low for others. Progress will be incremental as it is in all fields of medicine. US Cancer deaths are declining. Expectations should be realistic.

Is it ‘never’ because we will destroy the planet before we have time to figure it out? Or never because of a technical constraint? Cause if it’s the latter... you may be underrating what 1,000 more years of technical progress can accomplish!

Immunotherapies are the hail Mary of cancer treatments, as you say super expensive & difficult to manufacture (why we invested in
@indeelabs ) IMO the biggest opportunity to increase survival long term is Liquid Biopsy Detecting cancer pre tumor will massively increase survival -
Hmm, maybe. Big issues with specificity, sensitivity and unnecessary treatment
