Study: Common Diabetes Drug Could Prevent Lung Cancer
(Chicago, IL) -- New research shows a common diabetes drug could keep lung cancer from developing in smokers. Researchers at the National Cancer Institute say the drug, metformin, prevented lung tumors from growing in mice. Researchers report mice given the metformin by injection had 72-percent fewer tumors. The mice given the drug orally had 40 to 50 percent fewer tumors. Those positive results now have researchers urging for the drug to be tested in smokers. |
