I also expect that we will find some number of relatively common mutations, over time. Cancer is a coding mistake that leads to uncontrolled growth. The fact that we've named certain of these errors, that we know how they progress and how to treat them, tells me that there are common coding mistakes that trigger cancerous growth.
If we got this down to 100 or 1000 or 10000 different vaccines that covered 75% of cancers, and you could pick the right vaccine(s) with a DNA test, we'd be kicking ass.
