Our understanding of cancer

It does seem like we understand cells better than ever. Based on western science approach, because we understand the most basic part of an organism, and how cancer happened at a cellular level, that means our understanding cancer gets more sophisticated.
I guess the real test is if we can cure cancer better because of this understanding.

But at least my understanding of cancer got a little better after last week's class. I kept picturing cancer cells as these anarchic guerilla soldiers trying to organize armies to overthrow the central government of the country they live in.
