'DIMming' cancer growth -- STAT: Diindolylmethane suppresses ovarian cancer

Ovarian cancer is a major cause of death worldwide. The novel anti-cancer drug diindolylmethane (DIM) has been shown in laboratory to inhibit the growth of ovarian cancer cells.

DIM also enhances the anti-cancer effect of the platinum-based chemotherapy drug cisplatin. Read more
