Question: do you think its more important to find a cure for cancer or find a way to stop preventing it

I suppose it is better in the long run to find ways of just preventing people from getting it – through, for example, something like a vaccination. That would be better than having a cure, because even that would entail some kind of discomfort. Such a vaccination is the ‘holy grail’ of cancer research – and it is certainly something to aspire to, even if it seems unlikely for the moment.
