There are some extremely exciting medical breakthroughs in cancer research coming our way. Potential cures for cancer-- and I mean "all" cancer, not just "some" cancer or "a type of cancer" but cancer itself. And I don't mean "potential" as in "pie-in-the-sky we'd-love-to-cure-cancer-someday... potential, or "it works in theory" potential, but I mean, it's actually being done.
CRISPR is already being used to eliminate cancer all across the body using genetically-modified T-cell infusions that hunt down and kill cancerous cells with great success in China, and the USA is about to begin its own human trials.
Potentially even cooler, there is a pair of injections that cause the body to cure itself of cancer using its own T-cells, with no need of genetic engineering, no risk of rejection, and a 100% success rate in mouse trials. Soon, if all goes well, it will move on to human trials.
