      I don’t know a lot about cancer – but one problem is that there are many different types of cancer, and it is always evolving. This means that lots of different types of treatments are needed – no single type of treatment will cure all cancers. That said, a lot of progress has been made and there are cures for some types of cancer, and effective treatments for others.
