Independent of any overly-optimistic time-frames, why does this not make sense?

I take it to mean that we will understand cancer so completely that we can render it a minor disease.

Oh man, I had to call in sick last week 'cause I had a nasty cancer, but I'm feeling fine now.

I strongly suggest reading "The Biology of Cancer" by Weinberg to get a better understanding of why we will likely not understand cancer so completely we can render it a minor disease.
