I'm sure you have done as much research as you could on your own and I wish I could take you further but I haven't heard of this specific approach but it may be an attempt to lessen the toxicity of the treatment to good cells while maintaining the kill rate to the cancer cells. Just my guess as that's everyone's goal so why would someone propose a new treatment unless it achieved that goal?
