      I don’t think there will ever be a single cure effective against all cancers, their chemical make up and the way they interact with the rest of the body’s systems can be very different.
      Cancer can sometimes be caused by viral infections, such as the Human Papillomavirus (HPV). There is now a vaccine that prevents infection with HPV and thereby helps prevent cervical cancer in women.
