I’m not sure if most biologists would in fact say that you have to “cure cancer” one disease at a time, especially if we define “cure” to encompass “prevent.” As a trivial example, the CDC says smoking causes ” cancers of the mouth and throat, voice box, esophagus, stomach, kidney, pancreas, liver, bladder, cervix, colon and rectum, and a type of leukemia (acute myeloid leukemia).” Quit smoking and you (help) cure like 10 different cancers.
