Digoxin, a cardiac medication, dissolves clusters of circulating tumour cells in the blood, thus reducing the risk of metastases formation.

The active ingredient digoxin originally comes from the foxglove plant and can be prescribed for heart conditions such as heart failure.

Researchers hope to develop new molecules based on digoxin that are even better at dissolving the CTC clusters.
