Yeah... everybody gets cured of cancer, I become famed as the most noted man in medicine since Fleming. Spend rest of life utilising fame to the maximum, simple as that. I found the cure to all cancer, I can do whatever the heck I want. It would be relatively unreasonable to criticise the man who saved thousands of lives, it would be quite difficult to turn down the man who rid one of humanity's worst ailments. I'd be having a good time until I died. Even then my name would still be plastered over the history books.
Hello operator? Yes, I'd like a ticket to 1983...
What about 1984?
What? You can only go as far as 1988?!
I'll take it.
EDIT: Images are blocked? Dang.

I'm pretty sure there have been a couple reliable cures for cancer already, they just weren't picked up on because they weren't profitable ways to cure it.
I would keep the cure to myself. The population of the world is growing too fast. Without fatal diseases the population would stay strong and keep growing even moreso than it is now.
I would also proceed to scatter shards of glass all over the world and take away all pool fences.
Your welcome world.

Hopefully we start a massive campaign to get people to stop reproducing so much although if ALL cancer is cured then hopefully humanities "uncontrolled growth" will also have stopped. I just had a similar thought today about what would happen if crime disappeared over night. It sounds like a great proposition untill think about how many jobs will be lost and then also needed when we no longer have to run prisons or need police and people who would have spent most of their life in prison find themselves needing an actual job.
I'd go "Yay I cured cancer."
People would die from cancer less in areas where healthcare is accessible and affordable.
I don't understand what the OP expected to change. Just because some disease got cured. We cure diseases all the time on this planet. Anyone remember pneumonia? Bubonic Plague, AKA The Black Death? Hell, CHICKEN POX used to kill us, until we figured out how it worked. Cancer's no different. It's just taking longer.

We will.
Seriously, most people dying of cancer are WAY past their expiration date.
Sure, it's sad for all the moms and dads in their 30s or for a buddy of mine who died at the age of 20 from a brain tumor. But why would we want to cure anything that helps us not getting to 20 billions and fucking up the planet and the economy even more?
Also: If you cured cancer, the next thing you did, was being washed up at a shore of your choice because a quite powerful industry will kill your ass for ruining chemo-therapy buisness.
