Cancer eradicating engineered bacteriophage are described that can display a high copy number of a targeting polypeptide that can bind a surface antigen of a cancer cell. The bacteriophage can also display a high copy number of a cancer therapy, one or more of a drug, a toxin, an inhibitor, a radionuclide, etc. The targeting polypeptides and the cancer therapies can be directly or indirectly fused to coat proteins of the phage. The engineered phage can exhibit high avidity for cancer cells and can deliver a large dose of a cancer therapy per particle to the cell.
