It'll be reasonably expensive, but sequencing and gene alteration is way cheaper than in needs to be.

If this can actually cure cancers, it may even be worth it.

The thing is, surely there's antibody against cancer antigens anyway, in ordinary cancer. A cancer cell expresses epitopes not on healthy cells.

Why is this better?

...what? this sounds like you're advocating for price increases.

I blame autocorrect.
