      I don’t think there will ever be one cure for cancer, as cancer is hundreds of different diseases. For example breast cancer is very different to brain cancer and there are also lots of different types of breast and brain cancers.

      However, I do believe cancer will become a manageable and less deadly disease. I think this will happen in two ways, we will learn more about how to prevent cancer but also improved treatments that are tailored to each individual, this is called personalised therapy.
