An existing cardiac drug has been found to reduce the risk of metastasis by dissolving circulating clusters of breast cancer cells in patients.
Scientists at ETH Zurich tested more than 2,400 substances against tumor cells in lab cultures.
One of the most promising was digoxin, originally derived from foxglove.
In a small clinical study, nine patients received low doses of digoxin for one week .
The number of cells per circulating cluster was found to decrease by an average of 2.2 .
