It’s a small trial, and it will be awhile before there are answers to how effective and safe it can be.  Years in the future when cancer is considered a treatable medical condition, I’m certain that there won’t be one single “cure for cancer”, but rather an array of options each suited to different cancers, this may well be one of those options.
