The anti-diabetic drug Metformin lowers Myc and CDK 4,6 protein levels. Possibly Metformin could have anti-metastasis effects. As long as the renal function is good (serum creatinine in women less than 1.4mg%, men 1.5mg%) it is relatively safe as long as you are monitored carefully by a physician. Maybe more people should consider taking it. Speak with your doctors

Once the renal function decreases there is a danger of Lactic Acidosis which can be fatal. This is why renal function has to be carefully monitored.
