A long while back I blogged about the possible anticancer uses of nitroglycerin - a drug with a history of use going back 125 years or more. This was also the topic of our most recently published paper in the journal ecancer series from the Repurposing Drugs in Oncology project.
Talking of repurposing - a topic which is gaining interest all the time - there are some new developments in the Off-patent Drugs Bill which I will blog about at a later point. This offers a legislative solution to the problem of licensing an old drug for a new disease - an essential step that has to be taken if we are serious about changing medical practice. More on that later.
Commentary on cancer research, information on supplements and treatments, relevant book reviews, links to useful sites and other information that cancer sufferers, their families and friends may find useful.
