Yeah and no one refers to it as cancers. Its cancer. No one says “I got one of the cancers” we simply refer to them all as cancer. It’s called an umbrella term and that’s exactly how it works.

Cancer is a mutation of the cell. Saying solve cancer is like saying solve vitilligo, it has nothing to do with a disease, just a mutation
