What do you think about this new cancer treatment

What do you think about this new cancer treatment?
A new technology has shown that a manmade molecules called dendrimers can slip out of blood vessels and precisely deliver a drug to tumor cells, at least in mice. The dendrimers can also advertise their locations, allowing researchers to track their progress. The researcher, James Baker, plans to begin human trials in July.It will prevent damage of body cells and doesn't have the side effects like chemo. The molecule will be small enough for the kidneys to flush it out once it is done with its job. I am all for it. Chemo is nearly kills the patient and sometimes doesn't do anything to the tumors.

That's wonderful. My cousin, Shannon, has a brain tumor. It's not cancerous, but it's still terrible. They've known about it since she was six. She'll be seventeen in July. She's had multiple surgeries on it, but they can't remove it without turning her into a vegetable. She's gone through too many rounds of chemo to count. She just wants a normal life. This treatment, if it works, could be the key to that.

I've been reading up on this new research as well. I'm really excited about it and am curious to see how well it works in human trials. Unfortunately, it wouldn't be the first time something looks promising in lab animals but fails miserably in human trials.
