    I'm not a professional by any means but there are some red flags in this. For example talking about targeting multiple pathways as if it's a new approach when it isn't. Yes most drugs might target a specific pathway but treatments are often combined to target multiple pathways. Other than that is seems interesting but perhaps overly optimistic? They still have a long ways to go and need to determine the proper targets for each treatment and make sure the targets are specific to just that cancer. It'd be pretty common to run into a problem while trying to develop the treatment and end up only being able to treat only a subset of cancers.

    This sounds fascinating to me, and I think we're heading towards a future in which cancer is a trivial problem, but I was under the impression there would never be a single cure for cancer and it feels kind of soon. I would love to know if anyone here has a biomed background and could weigh in with a more educated opinion on this development.
