New research news?

• Nearly 50 existing non-cancer drugs found to kill some cancer cell lines in the lab
• Researchers surprised at the high yield of compounds active against cancer cells

A variety of existing drugs for treating conditions such as diabetes, inflammation, alcohol abuse, and arthritis in dogs can also kill cancer cells in the lab, according to a study by scientists at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard. Some of the compounds might in due course be tested in clinical trials, while others could help jump-start new drug development.

Hope this is the first of some meaningful breakthroughs for the future!
