"We"? Some cancers have been cured, not by programmers, but by huge well funded teams of researches - biologists, chemists, administrators, lab technicians, interns, etc. Sure, you could join such a team and possibly end up being a part of the cancer cure, if you're lucky. That's quite different from what we see with solo projects and startups.
