Definitely not a magic bullet, but DCA is seeming really promising:

(Vitamin K2 may also be of interest. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18374196 )

Meanwhile, there's an ongoing study at http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01029925, for DCA and metastatic lung and breast cancers.

(And they caught and extradited someone selling fake DCA: http://phoenix.fbi.gov/dojpressrel/pressrel10/px082510.htm )

Er, sorry. Search terms are dichloroacetate cancer site:gov. I'll stop geeking out about the data now. >_>
