Which approach would be more successful in targeting breast cancer cells


Which approach would be more successful in targeting breast cancer cells?
You are designing a drug to treat breast cancer. Which approach do you think would be more successful in targeting just the breast cancer cells รข€“ Removing methyl groups to reactivate genes that normally suppress cancer cells, or using RNAi (RNA interference)?

There's no question. Remove the methyl so the genes that are normally supposed to suppress cancer cells can come alive and do what they're meant to do. Honestly, I don't know what the RNA interference is, but to me, I would want those genes that suppress cancer cells especially since all the women in my family tested + for the BRCA gene. Rare, I know but those are the facts. So We'd all like to see something that stop those nasty cells and genes. Blessings.
