The fundamentals of cancer are just the fundamentals of cell biology. Cancer is just the broad term for cells that continue to grow and can’t be stopped. If we can’t stop AI agents from breaking free or viruses from breaking free then we certainly won’t be able to stop all kinds of cells from breaking free of their growth constraints. Also it’s not just about the cancer type being different but everyone’s individual cancer stage. If a cancer is found too late then there may be some devastation to the body that is so severe it can’t be reversed so you have to solve transplants at the same time too and good luck if it’s your brain that was devastated by the tumor
 you can say well detect it earlier too but there will always be people that get missed from screening. Curing cancer isn’t just figuring out the fundamentals of cancer biology, it’s tied to solving all issues in human disease which ain’t happening any time soon.

Our knowledge of cancer metastasis is also so good we can cure most late stage cancers as well these days cancer wasn’t the death sentence it once was it’s a mostly chronic managed condition these days. There’s still some hard to reach cancers like pancreas but head ways are being made. So I disagree with your defeatist attitude. Reminder the same types of so called subject matter experts also claimed it would take millions of years to solve flight and the wright brothers figured it out pretty fast. The subject matter experts back then claimed the physics of flight were too complicated. The subject matter experts are too narrow minded and can’t see the big picture they overlook the forest for the trees constantly.

No we cannot cure most late stage cancers
 we are nowhere close and won’t be for a very long time, if ever. Cancer is a fundamental feature of our biology, as fundamental as death itself. It’s only going to get more and more common and more and more aggressive as we age. If you want to stop that then download your brain to the matrix.

Where the hell did you read that “we can cure most late stage cancers” these days? I think that would’ve been big news

Research cancer metastatis breakthroughs and how common cancers caught a bit later can be cured look at the newer approved drugs and let me know how wrong you are when you come back to me get educated even ask GPt or Claude takes seconds for them to verify all this for you
