Unlikely, because cancer is not one thing but many. Each kind of cancer behaves differently, is susceptible to different treatments. And I once read an article about a genetic analysis that found dozens of completely different strains of cells in a single tumor.
That doesn't mean the problem(s) can't be solved. Early detection, and identifying exactly what type of cancer a person has would have a lot of value, for example.
Not in the way you are meaning, but we already have.
As well as virus call and bacteria we have tested using altered cancer cells as a delivery mechanism for medication (particularly against other cancer cells). I'm pretty sure there have been no human trials of anything like this yet though.
Mitch Hill went way too soon, he was too young to die. Live in the moment people, you never know when your life could be cut short by cancer. My condolences to Mitch's family, friends and others close to him who will undoubtedly be affected as a result of his death.
I hope I get to live to see a period in time when most forms of cancer are cured and people aren't taken away from us so early.
I spoke with him when I was at Avanade (he was the CEO) over a decade ago and just got connected with him on LinkedIn last year. My condolences to his family.
