and why specify? if icelandicelf had said "find a cure for breast cancer," one could easily argue, "well why not lung cancer? or skincancer?" what determines which cancer one would want to find a cure for? who ranks which is worth finding a cure for more?
(see how im nitpicking? yeah, thats kinda what youre doing.)

Good try...but nope! Unfortunately all cancers are different, and even cancers of the same type behave differently so no one cure works for everyone. But, since we are being hypothetical, I think leaving it to a cure for all cancers is fine! No need to specify when it's make believe anyway!
As for me, I'd move to Europe for a few years and live off of telerad. I'd come back in a couple years and get a real job in the states again.
