It has been known for decades that antabuse can counteract cancer. This new register study from Denmark shows that people taking antabuse and receiving a cancer diagnosis have better chances of survival if they continue with the medicine even after the cancer message.
"It concerns breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and several other tumor diseases," said Jiri Bartek, professor of cancer biology at Karolinska Institutet in Sweden.
Together with his colleagues, he has discovered that the effect depends on a substance that is formed when the body breaks down the antabuse. In addition, they have shown how the substance affects cancer cells.
Clinical trials have already begun with antabuse against breast cancer as well as an aggressive form of brain cancer.
