Question: Will we ever cure cancer

Chloe Kinsella answered on 14 Nov 2014:

In my opinion, yes. First of all, cancer is a complex disease. There are so many different types and it can have so many causes. For example skin cancer can be caused by too much sun, lung cancer can be caused by smoking cigarettes. Other diseases may have one cause, like a bacteria, so it usually gets cured quicker as scientists focus on this single cause. As cancer has so many causes it takes teams of all different types of scientists working together to come up with different ways to treat different cancers. When one treatment seems to be working in a laboratory, it has to go through years of trials on mice and trials on humans before it is allowed to be given to cancer patients. Slowly but surely the treatments for cancer are developing and hopefully in the near future there will be cures available.
