IIRC this question is complicated by the fact that there are many types of cancer. There are probably some in either category.

A gross understatement. In approximate terms, cancer is any time cell proliferation goes off the rails. More possibilities than you can shake a stick at.

A bit like asking how close are we to being able to fix electronic devices that have lost their magic smoke.

Ok, pick one charitably. Is there any type of cancer whose cure could be found with an unlimited amount of intelligence but only the currently available data?
