I think the best bet for curing cancer is a virus like organism that's tailored to bind to the cancer cells and kill them. A better understanding of receptors will be needed. Then attach a payload to that receptor and destroy the cell.
Targeted cytotoxics - already being researched and some in clinical use:

This is the future, not some magic cannabis potion.
