I have a close friend who I respect her opinion and she insists that Ozone Therapy would help fight cancer. What say the great minds here?

I was considering this at one point. Thing is though, ozone is quite a powerful oxidant. I just came to the conclusion it wasn't worth the risk. I wouldn't rule it out as such, just I think I'd be looking at other techniques. It's possible that a combination of decent exercises combined with correct breathing may have a similar effect.
Take a look at the Bohr effect. Basically, you can use breathing techniques during and after workouts that utilizes your carbon dioxide that you exhale to release more oxygen. This involves exhaling slower to retain the CO2 and hense the oxygen release.
So the trial apparently used autohemotransfusion, aka autologous blood transfusion, where blood is removed from a person and returned to his circulation at some later time. I guess the therapy would consist of circulating blood through a container with ozone bubbling through it.
I once worked at a local business that imported Chinese ozone makers, from consumer size to medical size. Had to test and fix some of the little ones for quality control. The home devices were the size of a toaster and their ozone could be bubbled through a glass of water to drink, or released in a confined space to kill bugs. It has its uses as an antiseptic. But instead of becoming an ozone fanatic, I became a little sceptic. I didn't drink ozone water, much less consider using ozone on my blood.
I worked for a company that used ozone machines to remove smoke smell from personal property in house fires. I spent half a day in the ozone once, felt terrible for several days.
I used to consult to the ozone industry. O3 Ozone is a powerful oxidizer. We used it professionally to kill bacteria, parasite (e.g. giardia), and viruses in water supplies and swimming pools, including a number of Olympic pools. The ozone is delivered in water solution. This requires excellent and precisely calibrated and maintained ozonation equipment.
Ozone does not discriminate or "prefer" any particular chemical or biological entity, it just goes to work. Some materials such as teflon and stainless steel are ozone resistant and so are used in the delivery systems. Applying O3 as a cancer therapy would require a practitioner who has extensively studied and done clinical work to target cancer cells. There is some promise here but you will really need to do good research. It is most certainly not a home remedy candidate.
From google "Ozone is a powerful oxidant – its actions can be compared to household bleach, which can kill living cells (such as germs or human skin cells) upon contact."
None of your references demonstrate utility in vivo; they were either in vitro studies with a variety of cell lines or if in vivo demonstrated toxicity to cancer cells. Since ozone is toxic to normal cells as well, this isn't a big surprise. I confess my eyes started to glaze over once I saw Otto Warburg's name.
Using ozone for a variety of putative clinical benefits is not a new idea. I'm pretty sure it it showed any actual clinical utility we'd know about it by now.
Getting past the ozone marker with an (American) football is worth 6 points....
