Diabetes drug shows potential as a cancer fighter

Post by mammamoon »

So an already exisiting generic drug that is safe and can also fight various forms of cancers!? METFORMIN supposedly is cheap and widely available. Supposedly they can't generate much research money for this study because Big Pharma companies can't make money off of this drug...so how long do you think it will take before they squash this new finding and we never hear of it ever again?

There's a study going on now to treat 3500 women - doubtful this plug will be pulled.
Truths can be backed up by facts - do you have any?

They have known this for a while now, good to see a study on it finally.
