Drug that was used 20 years for treating parasitic infections was not known to be a tumor inhibitor.

How is this discovered only after 20 years ???

Milan,
Yes, a very interesting finding. In fact many 'old' drugs used for other diseases are being researched for cancer treatments. I think this is just one of many being looked at now and we're sure to see more.
