NIT, IISER researchers patent cotarnine-derived oral cancer formulation
Researchers at NIT and IISER have patented a new oral cancer formulation made from cotarnine. The formulation showed activity against oral cancer cells, the researchers said. However, more preclinical studies are needed before its safety and efficacy can be established. So this is not a treatment you can use today. If oral cancer affects you or your family, please keep following your doctor's advice.
