Well this will certainly get the MBAs involved to jack up these prices to some insane and unaffordable level.

This isn't just symptomatic treatment, according to the article:
The growth of the most aggressive and deadly brain cancer, glioblastoma, was effectively suppressed in both ex vivo human tissue samples and in living mice by an FDA approved serotonin modulator currently used to treat major depression.
This medication doesn't shrink the cancer, but it does slow down its growth.
