But hey, if we really cared about finding out more, we could redo the trial with a enough subjects to differentiate between different types of cancer as different outcomes.  Unfortunately, for a product that only sells for $15/year, there's no incentive to do a new trial like that.

I know a bit about oncology, and I'm skeptical.  The only general purpose "cure" in the works involves phages and chlorotoxin.  I might include Tumor Paint too, though its function is more diagnostic.

As I said, it reduces cancer incidence; it may not affect progression.  If you don't get the cancer in the first place, you don't have to worry about a cure.

Actually, cancers fall into many categories, and similarities are pretty limited.  The biggest similarity seems to be DNA changes that the body can't recognize, though other ailments have that property too.  Triggers are different.  Having any of numerous DNA flaws and any number of environmental issues -- radiation being enemy #1.  If your home has radon in high concentrations, your risks are higher, but only for a limited ranges of cancers and only certain variants. 

I have a hard time believing in a prophylactic that stabilizes DNA, but stranger things have happened.
