As a long time big pharma and biotech researcher I would read this with healthy skepticism.

Why?
Mice are not humans.
Human tissue in a lab is a not a human being.
Dichloroacetate (DCA) would be a non-specific small molecule therapy and it would be beyond surprising if it had the clinical efficacy intimated in the article.
Lots of magic cures have come and gone for any number of reasons. This one reeks of snake oil.

Any big pharma would snap up and market the daylights out of a curative cancer therapy, even a cheap one as this implies. The public goodwill alone would be worth it.
