A new cancer drug has been found to have effectiveness for ovarian and bowel cancer that is 49 times as potent is Cisplatin. The key to this new drug, researchers report, is that it can shut down a cancer cell's metabolism. They add that the new drug could be cheaper to produce and less harm to healthy cells than alternative therapies.
