Unfortunately, I have lost my aunt because of the stomach cancer. That happened a long time ago, and I have been just a small kid, but still remember those days. Recently, I have been discussing options for cancer with a friend whose father has lung cancer and he mentioned nitrogen mustard. Does nitrogen mustard work in treatment of cancer? I think I heard it was used in wars

Actually, you are right. It has been used in wars, and as far as I know, some countries still had big reserves of this chemical during the World War II. Of course, the variant used for patients was something else, and it even proved to be effective, but the whole idea was abandoned in the front of new drugs and medication.
