Just a publicity stunt to get investors.

I don't believe any lay publications. Let them publish their data in a reputable medical journal.

There are hundreds of different types of cancers, and within those, hundreds of types of variants that require substantially different treatments. And then there are millions of different individual responses to treatments.

Anytime I hear “cure for cancer,” I turn the page or change the channel.
