Repertaxin blocks interleukin 8 and interrupts a critical signal that allows breast cancers cells to grow. This may not be one of the drugs mentioned in the article you folks are discussing. But perhaps still useful information, so I wanted to make it available to you.

I'm not a cancer patient or a cancer survivor. I do in depth research related to investing in biotech and have a science background. I just happened onto your website while investigating the relationship between cancer stem cells and pro-inflammatory cell signalling.

Another already approved drug worth looking at is itraconazole. It's an anti-fungal that has been found to block the SHH pathway, which appears to play a role in cancer stem cell growth.

Best to all.
