Cure for cancer

The problem is that there is not one cancer. But a myriad of cancers. That is the actual problem.

Yeah. Cancer is more of a name for a condition than it is a specific disease. There will never be a single cure for this entire category of diseases.

Same goes for the common cold....

Yeah, and better don't tell people that coronaviridae are a big part of that - long before SARS_CoV_2/Covid_19.
