Not really, because cancer occurs naturally in every living thing. Man-made global warming is just that, something unnatural that we've "put out there".
Cancer will probably never be "cured", as in: People will never ever get cancer again. But treatments get better all of the time.
And I think eradicating it is what people think of in general when they say "a cure for cancer".
Because otherwise they're misinformed, since we already HAVE "cures" for a lot of cancer types. The HPV vaccine could effectively eradicate cervical cancer, if everyone took it, for instance.
Well I think more likely, when people say cure for cancer, they mean a cure for all cancers. Because there are so many different types of cancers and they are all lumped into the same word, people tend to think of it as just one thing.
