A member asked:
If we have limited resources, how long might it take to cure cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Hard to tell.: Resources may be limited, but technology, particularly genetic research, is improving rapidly. This can accelerate the rate at which a cure is arrived at. An exact time it will take is still hard to say since new cancers might be found or occur due to new products, etc., and old cancers may mutate, or recur.
