Any advice?

I know this would be really hard to do as many intelligent individuals would agree but where should I start if I want to find a cure for cancer? I know we are already attempting to find one and have been for sometime now but where did our best start studying so that they could start experimenting? I wanna be on the front lines someday trying to find a cure too. I’ve never had cancer and no one in my family has it but I feel like it’s kind of my responsibility to at least try and help find a cure. It’s like a calling I have inside me. I doubt I would ever find one but I wanna try. I mean no disrespect to the community, I don’t believe it’ll be easy to even get the basics down quickly. But I figure I’m still young and I’m tired of wasting time doing stupid things with my “homies” maybe I can replace that extra time with something productive.

Where should start? Start with the books. If you can't find out where to start on your own, I don't see much hope there for getting further. Although I admire the interest and intent.

I also don't think there will be any magic bullet, no single switch or drug. Each type of cancer and tumor may have to be taken on its own. At least until we get something like programmable nanomachines that can seek and destroy.

However, pretty much all cures rely on being able to detect the cancer early enough, so detection and recognition remains a key for survival if people care for more than the prestige to "cure cancer". There already exists apps for tracking and trying to identify melanoma, for example, and genetics and lifestyle probability app I've tested. There's more opportunities along that avenue, although also ethical and technical challenges.

Some practical hopes have been put into finding people who are supposed to have certain cancer, familial/genetic or diagnosed, but don't have it or are surviving longer than predicted. Studying such people could help find genetic or environmental factors that are protective against at least that type of cancer. So basically all bio-sciences come important, but also societal and outreach skills.

buddy they have had a cure for years theres no money in cure which why its never been released plus its all part of the population control,whats better way than draining people of their money ,and then letting them die, chemo has only a 3 % success rate .

@english that’s scary. You know I do too think about that from time to time. There’s definitely lots of things going on behind the scenes in this world that the general population doesn’t know about. Most humans are kept in the dark about some messed up things. And why wouldn’t we be? If we know too much then they lose control over us.

biomedical engineering, my friend’s final year internship and project was on cancer (research) and that’s what her career’s gonna be once she’s done w grad school too

Medical school would be your first stop. From there choose a research specialization. Several years of education.
