  This is a really tough question. The more money we spend on research the quicker we see results. So with HIV, childhood leukaemia and heart research alot of money has been raised and spent on research into them and big improvements in survival have been seen. In childhood leukaemia for example cure rates have gone from 10% 30 years ago to 90% now. So how long it will take to find a cure for all cancers will vary but we are definately getting there.
