It's not a cure, a malaria protein could be used as a delivery method to deliver toxins to cancer sites. It's a step in the right direction, but a poor headline.

It's a big step though. Killing cancer cells is easy. The difficult bit is killing only cancer cells. This seems to be a promising way to do that.
