Can Clerics Cure Cancer?

Empirate

First Post
At level 1, Clerics can make flesh knit itself back together after injury (Cure Light Wounds).
At level 3, Clerics can cure hangovers (Lesser Restoration), as well as the blindness caused by that bootleg gin (Remove Blindness/Deafness).
At level 5, Clerics can cure any and all diseases (Remove Disease), UNLESS that disease's description specifically spells out that they can't (Lycanthropy etc.). Cancer has never received such a description, so it wouldn't be an exception so far as I can see.
At level 7, Clerics can Neutralize Poison and undo most of the damage it may have done (Restoration). They can also cure life force lost to unnatural horrors too horrible not to abhor.
At level 9, Clerics can cure death (Raise Dead).
At level 11, Clerics can do any and all of the above at once (Heal).
Weirdly, it takes Clerics until level 13 to cure limb loss (Regenerate).


At no point ever can Clerics cure taxes.


(unless a generous DM allows that Miracle to happen at level 17)
