He proposes that the cell-killing ability of currently used anti-cancer therapies – toxic chemotherapeutic agents such as Taxol as well as radiation treatment – is mainly due to the action of ROS to induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death.

The common feature would be their common dependence upon a ROS-mediated cell-killing mechanism.
