Article Synopsis
- Arsenic trioxide has been shown to effectively induce cell death in breast cancer cells and was previously used to treat promyelocytic leukemia.
- During the period from 1958 to 1970, women in northern Chile (Region II) experienced significantly lower breast cancer mortality rates compared to a region with lower arsenic levels.
- These findings suggest a potential link between high arsenic exposure and reduced breast cancer mortality, warranting further investigation into the use of inorganic arsenic in advanced breast cancer treatment.
