Medicine is in the dose. If you take enough ibuprofen it will kill you beside your pain. Lithium is a useful and powerful mood stabilizer, but take just a tiny bit more, and it’s deadly poison

But does it also not kill the rest of the person? A bullet will kill cancer calls in lab conditions.

Sure, but there are far more things which will kill the entire person at the same dose they’ll kill the cancer than things which can be carefully controlled by choosing the right dose.
These studies which claim to kill cancer in a petri dish usually turn out to be the former, because not killing the host is the difficult part

That’s fair. But imo if it kills cancer cells, it’s worth investigating

If you swallow a bunch of gunpowder, drink gasoline, fill yourself with nitroglycerin, and then slam yourself on the floor—sure, you’ll get hired by the talent agent, but then you have to reveal that you can only do the trick once.
