However , this strategy often leads to cancer cells developing workarounds , rendering the tumor unresponsive to . treatment Matheus dos Santos Dias , a researcher , is taking a completely different approach – one that might seem counterintuitive at first . We’re going against the prevailing view that you can only fight cancer cells by inhibiting them , 8221 he explains . But we had strong evidence that it also works if you overstimulate and exhaust them . 8221 The idea behind
