To make my point clear, the current cancer therapy all targets tumor mass (surgery, chemotherapy, radiation therapy). That is why I call carpet-bombing. Any one who understand cancer biology would know that tough part of cancer treatment is metastatic tumor. As long as a single cancer cell escapes the destruction by metastasis to other part of body. The cancer will come back some time in future. The time of recurrence will depend on how rapid or aggressive malignancy is.

The real cure for cancer is to find way to detroy single malignant cell without harm to normal cell.

It is still good work. But I just do not want people think this is some kind of breakthrough. I work with cancer patients. There are numberous claims of cure or breakthroughs over these years. Most of them only marginally improved over existing care. We need true breakthrough. Clinical trials are the true tests at end.

Well, this is still concentrated carpet bombing on tumor. It is still long way to go for airdrone type of single target precision kill. Until then, that is no real breakthrough.

When the treatment can target single malignant cell, it would be cure for cancer disease and most surgeons would lost their jobs.
