Reminder: any drug that gets a lot of hype for "killing cancer in a petri dish" is probably not as useful as you think
It's really easy to kill cancer cells
Napalm kills cancer cells
The far more pertinent question is "does it kill cancer cells while not killing the human the cells are in?"
That's the tricky bit of the whole exercise
@monorail 30 seconds, nice
@troubleMoney it only took me that long because i was in the middle of typing another toot
@troubleMoney Frankly I'd be scared of cancer cells that DIDN'T react to napalm. Then again, I don't live on the set of Akira so the odds of running into those are pretty slim.
We found a bacteria that eats pancreatic cancer! And pancreases!
@Roxxie_Riot
If you can create a secondary pancreas by cloning, you can just destroy the original and implant the cloned one.
Come on, science! Where are those cloned organs?
What if I make a clone but then I sew my head onto it and then I can share a body with the clone and hate each other

OMG! NAPALM CURES CANCER!
@troubleMoney A new drug may kill cancer cells in a dish and not work at all in a human. We have a lot of great tools for killing cancer -- in rodents. They work in lab mice or rats buare not effective in humans.t
@BertL those are at least useful for poor little rats with cancer
also significantly closer to what you want than something that just kills the human
