yet another tool in oncologist toolbox, and looks like a pretty capable one. looks like it also has an effect of sensitizing cancer cells to other chemotherapy drugs

This treatment looks to give us the ability to buy time. So many treatments just cannot act fast enough or are so weakening at higher doses that the person doesn't make it. I think we will see a lot of new treatment options that give us room for creativity when the first option fails. I've lost a lot of people I love to cancer in my life. I'm hopeful that those I love still living will be with us longer, so I can love and enjoy them more. At least until the next thing after cancer gets them (or me).

we don't know yet, it might be very well a part of complete cure for some cases

and judging by mechanism which is pretty general, that might be a lot of cases and resistance may be hard to develop
