What does "it killed cancer cells up to 20000 times more effectively" mean? Genuinely asking because in my mind it's ethier dead or its not. The other stats make some amount of sense to me but I can't figure out what this one is saying.

You can read the article and the study, but presumably a single dose kills that many more cancer cells.

I read the article it never clarifies this point. It also doesn't link to a study as it reads like its just an interview about an ongoing study. Your interpretation makes sense though.
