It's about lung cancer.
Do you know what cells are involved in lung cancer, not the tissue (lung) but the cells?

• Squamous cell carcinoma: Cancer that begins in squamous cells, which are thin, flat cells that look like fish scales. This is also called epidermoid carcinoma.
• Adenocarcinoma: Cancer that begins in cells that have glandular (secretory) properties.
• Large cell carcinoma: Cancer in which the cells are large and look abnormal when viewed under a microscope.
• Adenosquamous carcinoma: Cancer that begins in cells that look flattened when viewed under a microscope. These cells also have glandular (secretory) properties.
• Undifferentiated carcinoma: Cancer cells that do not look like normal cells and multiply uncontrollably.

No, I don't. But have you heard about the possibility of using a common chemical, dichloroacetate (DCA), as a cancer treatment? Neither the chemical nor its use can be patented, so it may be difficult to get funding for trials. Drug companies aren't interested. There's no profit in it.
