      I’m not a biologist or a doctor, but the answer is both yes and no. Cancer is not a single disease, it’s a group of diseases, and some of these can be cured more easily than others. There are treatments for certain types of cancer that can cure people if they are treated quickly enough, and new treatments are being developed all the time, but there is not a single drug that can cure all types of cancer.
