In fact, I have read about this agent and think this is an exciting forefront of basic science in regards to cancer... however, not every medication makes it to the clinical phase, but research takes a long time. It should also be noted that while DCA kills certain types of cancer cells (ie. breast cancer), it may also cause different types (ie. colon cancer). So, its important to look at both the risks and benefits. It will be interesting to see if this medication makes it to clinical trials. Working with cancer patients everyday, I'll be keeping a close eye out. Thanks for posting and hope this helps...
