No amount of bullet will safely treat cancer in vivo

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
