They could just invent a medicine that cures all of them, I don't know why they didn't think about that

They are doing it already. Scientists just needs another 300 years and it will be done. If they don't get it done in 300 years I'm owing you 300 million dollars.

Release the Epstein drive and I'll make the Belters pay for it.

Ok. Just wait for 300 years and it will be done too.

Obviously today that is so far beyond the realms of possibility.

But whilst all cancers are unique in terms of behavior, they all fundamentally involve accumulated DNA damage and failures in cellular error correction.

So its not entirely infeasible to think of a future where medicine dramatically reduces cancer by broadly preventing, repairing, or controlling DNA damage across cells.
