It serves logic though, because cigarettes, by their very nature, are a carcinogenic agent that causes or increases the likelihood of many different types of cancer, not [...]

A common medication that is used in the treatment of the common cold virus and the coughing that goes along with it, via cough syrups, called Noscapine, may have a dual purpose as a treatment for prostate cancer.  Although I’m unsure of how they made the connection to cancer research with a drug that is [...]
