      I believe that one day, cancer will have a cure. Cancer is the abnormal rapid growth of cells so to cure it we will need a compound that can rapidly kill or slow down the abnormal cell growth and not cause harm to the patient

      The biomedical scientists in the University of Sheffield are working towards this every day. They are working on understanding cancer better,so that they can provide better therapies, better drugs, and maybe vaccinations. They also study causes of cancer so that we can avoid cancer.
      I am not sure that we will ever find a cure, as cancer also evolves so it will be a constant battle, until the causes are discovered
