Cool, if it works in the real world. Curing cancer in a petri dish is easy - the real world is quite another thing. Can the compounds be given at doses that are not toxic, what are the side effects, do the drugs even have the capacity to cross the blood stream and get into the tumor?

In my fridges and freezers at work we have - literally - thousands of compounds that kill cancer in petri dishes. Only a tiny handful - maybe 1:100 - actually work in the human body, and most of those are too toxic or too ineffective to make a useful therapeutic.

Curing cancer - or any disease - in a petri dish is easy. Patients are another ball game. Phenolics represent a huge family of potentially useful compounds, but I wouldn't go and hang my hat on any one just yet.
