Cancer is a mutation. It's not caused by bacteria or anything

There's a way to circumvent the cancer in future but I'm sure you can't cure it.

How do you circumvent? 3d printed live organs.

@midnightsun Cancer is genetic, you would have to cure the DNA. Carcinogens only activate the cancer, they are not the source. Cancer is a miss-coding in the DNA If there were to be a cure for cancer it would also be the key to all manner of genetic experimentation attempting to improve or enhance the natural human, but resulting in horrible mutations about 98% of the time, including cancers.
It is kind of like finding a cure for stupid. (Which is also commonly genetic).
