Arsenic is a remarkably effective treatment against a rare form of leukemia.. Researchers from a CNRS / Université Paris Diderot research unit, based at the Institut Universitaire d’Hématologie at Hôpital Saint Louis, have shown how arsenic cures this type of leukemia. This research should lead to a better understanding of the therapy, and thus to medical strategies which are better adapted to this disease. This work was supported by the Ligue contre le cancer and published on April 13 2008 on the website for Nature Cell Biology.
