From the duh department. By definition a cellular toxin damages DNA, and cancer is the product of damaged DNA. Still surprised this article made it past the big pharma media gatekeepers.
Huh? The vast majority of chemotherapy regimens, such as alkylating agents, antimetabolites, anthracyclines, cause damage to and interfere with DNA replication.

It’s even worse than I thought.
Untrue; a cellular toxin damages cells, but not necessarily by damaging DNA. A common mechanism is damaging the cell membrane.
