The Truth About...Repurposed Drugs to Treat Cancer

The Cancer Pod: Integrative Medicine Talk

Drug repurposing is using a drug previously approved for one condition to treat an entirely different condition (like cancer). In cancer care, repurposed drugs are usually gentler than FDA-approved cancer treatments. They include common drugs for diabetes, high blood pressure, infections, and more. Tina & Leah talk about who should consider this strategy and some of the most commonly used repurposed drugs.
