Hey,


I found this in Wikipedia, there is more there.





Medical application:


Arsenic trioxide has been used in a variety of ways over the past 200 years, but most commonly in the treatment of cancer. The US Food and Drug Administration in 2000 approved this compound for the treatment of patients with acute promyelocytic leukemia that is resistant to ATRA. It was also used as Fowler's solution in psoriasis.





Recently new research has been done in locating tumours using arsenic-74 (a positron emitter).





Hope this helps a little


:)
