There seem to be no end of things that can kill cancer cells provided they can be attached to same. Aye, matey, that's the snag especially with CTC PCa, dormant PCa, et al.

repurposing these drugs are hands down the best approach, their efficiency is the key to battle the timeline and seem to be easily studied n very effective instead of pushing for these new highly expensive drugs that take ten years to get approved… and most of the time don’t work for long anyways…
