Alzheimer's-related protein found to drive lung cancer spread to brain

Researchers at McMaster University, Cleveland Clinic and Case Comprehensive Cancer Center have uncovered how a protein long associated with Alzheimer's disease helps lung cancer spread to the brain—a discovery that offers hope that existing Alzheimer's drugs could be repurposed in preventing cancer's spread.
