We know that most of the biological processes occur b'coz of protein-synthesis, Methionine(AUG)is the starting compound of any protein chain,which initiates the process(any process like walking etc.) Then are there any anti-methionine agents which can terminate protein-synthesis so that cell-division can be controlled and finally cancer?(I know the existance of stop-codons UAA,UAG,UGA---apart from that are there any anti-methionine agents?) It's more like this,I want to know the compound that can terminate/halt the process of cell-division...so that cancer can be controlled?

I’m not sure if mitosis inhibiting ‘compound’ is the right approach, as it will prevent the good cells from dividing as well. On the other hand developing the viruses that attack malignant cell may be a more effective way.

Cancer isn't just one disease, it's a whole raft of problems. So you may be able to stop one aspect of it, but there is no guarantee (at present) that you'll be able to stop it all.
Part of the problem is also as you allude to the biochemistry in the body is fairly complex, and tinkering here and there may have unforeseen consquences elsewhere in the biosystem.

Check out info on B-17, it has been know for years that it stops/cures cancer, but if it's developed and used, well then look at how many will be out of a job. Ridiculous but true.
