A University of Hawaii research team says it has created a pill to prevent lung, skin and breast cancers.

An article about the drug will be published in Tuesday’s edition of a major science journal.

Current medications for these cancers are generally administered through an IV, so taking a pill would be a welcome change for many.

UH released this news about the anti-cancer pill today.
