For what it's worth: cancer cure announced

They also only used small doses of the transporter bacterium.

Problems that I can envision with it:
- Bacterium mutates
- Comes into contact with wild S. typhimurium resulting in some funky combinations, none of which would be pleasant
- High toxicity in larger doses, which would be required for humans, either from drug overdose or transporter leak, resulting in drug floating free in the body
- Targeting may be a bit off - results in hitting other fast growing cells or cells with that particular receptor
- Patient with auto immune disease
- Questionable how to get the bacterium out again once you pump someone up with it
- Bacterium gets infected by one of many virii, altering its function

On the upside, the result is said to be 100% in mice which they seeded with humane carcinoma. One hundred percent, now that is promising as animal trials go. Of course they didn't mention the size of N in this trial or the results of other trials that may have been less than perfect. And for all we know it make take another 25 years to fine-tune the targeting of the drug.

And blah blah, who are we to know anyway? I just hope this isn't some stupid hoax to begin with.
