To be fair, dealing with radiation induced carcinogenesis is already on NASA's radar (https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov/risks/risk.aspx?i=96 https://humanresearchroadmap.nasa.gov/risks/risk.aspx?i=96). Any long-term space mission will require mitigating cancer risk, which is probably about as close to a cure that we can reasonably hope for. So the two (space travel and cancer) are actually very closely linked.
