The "100 years" thing is an easy dunk but it does reveal a fundamental misunderstanding about what cancer is that drives a lot of false expectations about "a cure for cancer" It's not a specific disease that appeared one day, it's not caused by a germ like COVID-19 or AIDShttps://twitter.com/MucciTina/status/1369300248338853901 …

We have lots of cures for lots of different types of cancer now, they just involve long treatment times or complicated, maybe multiple, surgical procedures. We’re never going to have some kind of 7-day course of pills and you’re cured kind of thing for this.
