Chemotherapy can backfire and boost cancer growth: study

Well that's the plan I thought ?????

Is that why it seems the cancer always returns in a few years.

Bit like this one.

Radiation Treatments Generate Cancer Stem Cells from Less Aggressive Breast Cancer Cells

researchers with the UCLA Department of Radiation Oncology at UCLA’s Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center report for the first time that radiation treatment—despite killing half of all tumor cells during every treatment—transforms other cancer cells into treatment-resistant breast cancer stem cells.

Then this part which makes me want to puke... These people are insane.

“What is really exciting about this study is that it gives us a much more complex understanding of the interaction of radiation with cancer cells that goes far beyond DNA damage and cell killing,” Pajonk said. “The study may carry enormous potential to make radiation even better.”

Gotta offer the poor bastards something.
