Biomimetics used for cancer treatment?

I would like to know a medical expert's opinion on how lung cancer treatment and prevention can be done through biomimetics.

I don't know that it can.  What is your definition of biomimetics? Do you mean biochemicals or "Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. The terms "biomimetics" and "biomimicry" derive from Ancient Greek: βίος (bios), life, and μίμησις (mīmēsis), imitation, from μιμεῖσθαι (mīmeisthai), to imitate, from μῖμος (mimos), actor. A closely related field is bionics.".  

There are biological therapies for lung cancer.  Just trying to make sure we are talking about the same thing so if you cold clarify, that would be great.
