I am not a man of science, nor a man of medicine, tho I've been a patient of medical practice like most people are at some point during their lives. Over the years, in the popular media, I read countless touts of possible cancer cures, one of the most horrible causes of death and pain for humans and other animals. The hope is always just around the corner.
My eldest son served many years as a US Army doctor, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as stateside. Now he heads a major trauma team at one of NYC's better hospitals. Obviously, I am a proud father. This morning, I received an e-mail from him with the following link, with a note of skepticism and hope:

I hope and pray this is true, and not another baseless brag about controlling this horrible set of diseases that threatens all those we all love and cherish.
I don't pretend to understand what they are talking about, but existing chemotherapy,
is basically giving the body lots of toxins, and hoping the faster growing cancer cells die before everything else.
Could it be possible? I have my doubts but truly hope they are successful.
What a wonder this could be. So many lives would be saved the ravage of cancer.
'Magic bullets' may indeed exist but cancer is too varied, too widespread & too complex genetically to be susceptible to one such.
And remember that God created cancer. Big, bad magic powered by the Holy Ghost.

It appears to be more of a method than a substance, customizing delivery of cancer cell toxins for the needs of the patient, and key compounds also customized to turn off the cell reproduction.
The problem is there are still so many other ways to die. Every time medical science cures something nature just comes up with another way to kill us. I think it will be like antibiotics. At first everything is great then the problems arise.
Unfortunately, this novel therapeutic approach is still in the lab phase. It will take years to go through initial FDA approval, then clinical trials before it would be available for use on patients.
