What are the immediate implications of the South Korean 'reverse therapy' for cancer treatment, considering the current state of clinical evidence?

South Korean researchers claim a breakthrough in cancer treatment, converting cancerous cells into healthy ones using a novel technique called 'reverse therapy'. However, this is not a complete replacement for existing cancer treatments; it is rather an intermediary step. This approach is based on the known phenomenon of cell differentiation, where cancer cells revert to a normal state, a process already used to treat acute promyelocytic leukemia.
