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!

Thanks for the article link
I hope researchers do additional studies to determine who might best benefit from one or more of these drugs. As we know, an individual's genetic makeup can impact the effectiveness of a particular treatment.
