The Solution

There is a growing body of scientific evidence that aggressive cancers - the bad ones that metastasize and cause death - occur as a cellular reprogramming disease. Under genetic or environmental stress, normal cells undergo cellular reprogramming and start to de-differentiate into more primitive cells. Eventually, If the stressed cells revert backward sufficiently to acquire the biochemical properties of embryonic stem cells. These transformed and now cancerous cells are then able to spread and cause death. These malignant stem cells are the origin and cause of aggressive cancer.  The ability to kill these cells should result in improved treatments and cures for many affected patients.
