00:00Diabetic drug shows promise in fight against colon cancer.

00:05Metformin, commonly used for diabetes, may prevent colon cancer.

00:09At the American Association for Cancer Research in Chicago,

00:13researchers highlighted its interaction with challenging colon cancer cells.

00:17Despite early research stages, metformin might boost existing treatments,

00:22offering a promising cancer therapy, repurposing potential.

00:24Metformin could enhance cancer therapies,

00:31particularly for hard-to-treat KRAS mutation colon cancers.

00:35Although not independently potent,

00:37it shows promise in lowering colon cancer rates among diabetic patients.

00:42Further animal trials are needed before human trials,

00:46underscoring the preliminary nature and need for continued research.

00:49Metformin, costing 10 to 20 cents per pill,

00:56is globally available and studied for safety.

00:59It's praised for controlling blood sugar, dementia, and heart health,

01:03promoting autophagy to clear damaged cells.

01:06It may disrupt colon cancer cell energy use,

01:09altering division, exciting longevity researchers.

01:12Early research on the use of metformin as a potential colon cancer treatment

01:20shows significant promise in improving outcomes.

01:24It's affordable, widely available, and could complement existing therapies,

01:28especially for KRAS mutation cancers.

01:31Further animal trials are planned within a year.

01:33Well done, I will love to be through more.

01:34Good luck.

01:35Welcome.
