      Possibly, but I don’t think it will be a one pill or treatment that can cure all cancer although this would be amazing! A researcher working on this would be able to give a more detailed answer.

      I think that as there are so many different cancers, and they don’t all respond to treatment in the same way – some respond best to chemotherapy, some to radiotherapy etc, that there will never be “one” cure. But I’m sure we will get better at treating cancers.

      I think that a full cure for cancer will be difficult, but we are definitely developing better treatments, and what is more important, better early diagnosis techniques. An early diagnosis is often the key thing to cure someone from cancer!
