In what ways are they able to target cancer cells for killing but not blocking?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Complex question!: I would say it is about the same thing. The net result is cell death because cells are either actively growing or dying. They do not stay in a "blocked" state for too long. I think what you are saying is simply a matter of semantics..
