From my understanding, it goes much further than just finding a single cure for the cancer gene. I could be wrong but I'm under the impression the cure wouldn't be some one size fits all dose.

Right- because "cancer" is not a disease but a word used to group together a whole bunch of diseases that may be similar in the way they appear but can be very different genetically. There will never be "a" cure for cancer. There may be genetic techniques that cover a large swath of malignancies, but there will always be the need for multiple treatments.

I hope for the day I can be unemployed due to the effective and safe treatments available.
