This is very interesting. According to this article, the medication would actually attack cancer stem cells - which I believe is quite difficult to do? I believe that chemotherapy for example does not attack "sleeper cells" because they don't divide quickly - hence they are "missed" and get a chance to continue in the body. Maybe the venom could somehow solve that problem?
Has anyone heard more about this approach at all?
