Combination of Auranofin and ICG-001 Suppress the Proliferation and Metastasis of Colon Cancer

Colon cancer is one of the deadliest tumors in the world, and with high metastasis rate and mortality, effective drugs for its treatment are still in need. Auranofin (AF) is a gold complex that has been attested by FDA for treating human rheumatism, and researchers have found that AF acts as a great...
