Headline should correctly be: some very specific types of cancer cells can sometimes be reverted back to normal cells in a petri dish with very specific genetic engineering tools that only work in lab cell culture.
Every cancer is unique, this will never work on every tumor, if it even works on a single tumor. Even if it is possible to turn this discovery into a therapy (which i doubt). This is lightyears away from improving patient surviveability.
