Will we ever find the cure to cancer or no?

We already have it. But cancer treatments are too profitable for the medical industry for the curd to be released.

We'd probably have a cure by now if cancer treatment wasn't big business with costs exceeding hundreds of billions each year.

Bullshit, nobody can prevent cancer, even the "elite". All they do is living a lifestyle that is totally different and they consume good stuff all they want, also they screen often so if they have something it's at an early stage.

There can be no universal "cure" to cancer because cancer is a mutation of your own cells. At best, you can make targeted therapies for the most common cancer types (e.g. EGFR, KRAF, BRAS, etc.) but even these have limited efficacy.

The best way to treat cancer is to prevent it. It would be MUCH more useful to 1/ ban cigarettes 2/ tax alcohol 3/ send fat people to mandatory weight-loss camps, than spending billions on new therapies.
