Pardon my biological ignorance.

This sounds very important, in that perhaps it can make cancer cells act less aggressively abnormal.

But, once the DNA is seriously damaged, now can a cancer cell ever be coerced back into normalcy? It lacks the blueprint; it has lost the information on what “normal” is.

Recent evidence indicates that 20% of cancers are second events. Killing all of the previous cancer cells is not the complete solution. In many situations cancer is caused by a epigenetic switches that driven by a microenvironment that is concentrated with elevated, glucose, hypoxia, insulin and glucagon. If the microenvironment remains unchanged the epigenetic switches can turn new healthy cells into cancerous cells all over again.
