The next step is probably finding genetic patterns and running tests on wide populations of humans that naturally don't develop cancer. Once the genes are isolated, inject cells carrying these genes on to people that have cancer.

I've read about antigen-based systems that carry chemotherapy agents to cancer cells. Those don't work too well. Hopefully, this new approach will work better.
