This one sticks out to me because the question is too vague. If it said, “All forms of cancer will be cured,” which is logically equivalent to the one given, then the only answer for anybody who knew anything about the subject is “no.”
So, it seems that either people misunderstood the question, or don’t know enough about cancer to realize that it’s really a collection of terrible diseases that, at our current level of understanding, seem to need different treatments.
Some people might have been thinking of a magic cure-all, others of a variety of improved treatments. There were many people alive in 1998 that had been cured of cancer already.
Until I went into the cancer treatment industry, I mostly thought cancer was just a single process with a single cause (except for maybe leukemia but I also don’t know that I knew that was a cancer in 1998) that just happened to different parts of the body.
