This seems untrue on its face. What we mean by “curing aging” is negligible senescence.
And presumably what the cancer researcher meant by curing cancer was something like, “Can reliably remove tumors without them growing back”? Do you have evidence that we have not done this in mice?
I assumed that was a typo and that you meant curing cancer in mice. We have definitely have not yet ‘cured aging’ in mice, which is called robust mouse rejuvenation (RMR). RMR is usually discussed in the context of timelines for longevity escape velocity (LEV), as a relevant milestone on the way to LEV. Aubrey de Grey has put RMR timelines as occuring as soon as 2022, and LEV occurring by 2036.

Oops, that was a typo. I meant curing cancer. And I overlooked the typo twice! Oops.
