Small drug trial promising in fight against cancer.

A trial involving 5 people with glioblastoma  multiforme given DCA(dichloroacetate) looks promising.
One person died,but in the other 4,the tumours stopped growing,and in one of the 4,tumour disappeared altogether.
The 4 were still alive 18 months later,3 times the average time of survival from this type of cancer.

Drugs which drive up AMPK activity also appear to increase cancer survival rates.
