      Any form of cure for illness requires research. Research is expensive to do and so some illnesses in some countries I severely overlooked. I personally believe that there is already a decent amount of money goes into cancer research compared with other area’s. So hence I would probably it towards research into another illness that is less well funded

    I would make sure they wouldn’t get cancer in the first place so you wouldn’t have to cure them in the first place.

    alexszczech is’s not that easy. There are tens if not hundred of different cancers out there all caused by a complex mixture of genetic and enviromental triggers. We know that for example UV can contribute to skin cancer, smoking to lung and a virus can contribute to cervical cancer. So yes we can indeed decrease the risk of certain types of cancer but straight forward prevention isn’t that straight forward after all.
