Skin Cancer Breakthrough
Cancer Breakthrough After Tadpole Tests

A drug discovered with the help of tadpoles could prevent the spread of the deadliest form of skin cancer.
The drug leflunomide is already used to treat rheumatoid arthritis.
But after tests on tadpoles scientists have concluded it could be a powerful treatment for malignant melanoma.

They injected 3,000 compounds into frog embryos and discovered that leflunomide dramatically changed the way the pigment pattern developed on the tadpoles.
