Question: Following up from my fourth question, i did some research on what is different from a cancer cell to a normal cell and it suddenly popped into my head about what enzymes a cancer cell would produce! So i looked this up and apparently there is an enzyme called Hexokinase-2 that can be found in larger ammounts than usual in cancerous cells than normal cells. So i was just wondering if you could use some kind of hormone to target the cancerous cells through the enzyme and if so could the hormone somehow destroy the cancerous cell causing no damage to the cells around it?

And good point! We wouldn’t want the hormone to slowly eat your whole body just because your normal cells produce the same type of enzyme! I wonder if you could have a hormone that only followed the stronger enzyme? Like like if there was a wolf and to his left, there was a small portion of meat and to his right, a larger portion im pretty sure the wolf would go for the bigger portion, but thats not really the same with hormones though becausw they can’t think for themselves, they have a list of instructions which they constantly repeat. Maybe you could have the hormone constantly search for the cells producing the most hexokinase-2 and killing them, and when the cancer had been proven that it was gone they could use a harmless medication to kill the rest of the hormone to stop it from causing further damage to the body.
