well cancer, and clearly this is me oversimplifying, is caused by the abnormalities and transformations of cells, growing/duplicating faster, or in a way than they should. someone who is medically versed can answer this better, but i would think while there may not be a one-cure-fits-all fix, different types of cancer have common traits so their cures would be related.
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.)
