Core Tip	Oral dichloroacetate sodium (DCA) has been investigated as a novel metabolic therapy for various cancers. Response to therapy in human studies is measured by standard response evaluation criteria for solid tumours definitions, which define “response” by the degree of tumour reduction, or tumour disap-pearance on imaging. However, DCA can also act as a cytostatic agent, without causing apoptosis (program-med cell death). A case is presented in which oral DCA therapy resulted in tumour stabilization of stage 4 colon cancer in a 57 years old female for a period of nearly 4 years, with no serious toxicity.
