CIA faces furious backlash after hidden document with potential cure for cancer is declassified after 60 years
A newly surfaced CIA document suggests US intelligence once reviewed research that hinted at a possible cancer treatment more than 60 years ago.
The document, produced in February 1951 and declassified in 2014, summarizes a Soviet scientific paper that examined striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancerous tumors.
The report describes how researchers believed both organisms thrived under nearly identical metabolic conditions and accumulated large reserves of glycogen, a form of stored energy.
The research also highlighted experiments showing that certain chemical compounds were capable of targeting both parasitic infections and malignant tumors.
One drug, Myracyl D, was reportedly effective against bilharzia parasites as well as cancerous growths, hinting that treatments developed for parasites might also attack tumors.
Other compounds were found to interfere with nucleic acid production, a process essential for the uncontrolled growth of cancer cells.
Experiments on mice even showed that tumor tissues reacted differently to certain chemicals than normal tissues, further reinforcing the perceived biochemical overlap between parasites and cancers.
Although the document was declassified more than a decade ago, it has recently resurfaced online, fueling outrage among some Americans who say it raises troubling questions about why Cold War research hinting at possible cancer treatments sat in intelligence archives for decades.
'The Americans knew. They read it, classified it CONFIDENTIAL, and locked it in a vault for 60 years,' one person shared on X, including the CIA documents in the post.
Another X user said: 'The CIA knew from 1951 that cancer was parasites.'
However, the document itself does not say cancer is caused by parasites, only that a Soviet study noted biochemical similarities between tumors and parasitic worms and observed that some compounds affected both in experiments.
Daily Mail has contacted the CIA for comment.
The CIA document was based on a 1950 article published in the Soviet scientific journal Priroda by Professor V V Alpatov, a researcher studying the biochemical behavior of endoparasites, organisms that live inside the body of a host.
American intelligence analysts translated and circulated the paper because it was considered potentially relevant to biomedical and national defense research during the early years of the Cold War.
According to the Soviet research summarized in the report, one of the most striking similarities between parasitic worms and cancer cells was their metabolism.
Parasitic worms that inhabit the human intestine rely heavily on anaerobic metabolism, meaning they generate energy without requiring large amounts of oxygen.

AI allows hackers to identify anonymous social media accounts, study finds
New research suggests tech behind AI platforms such as ChatGPT makes it easier to perform sophisticated privacy attacks
AI has made it vastly easier for malicious hackers to identify anonymous social media accounts, a new study has warned.
In most test scenarios, large language models (LLMs) – the technology behind platforms such as ChatGPT – successfully matched anonymous online users with their actual identities on other platforms, based on the information they posted.
The AI researchers Simon Lermen and Daniel Paleka said LLMs make it cost effective to perform sophisticated privacy attacks, forcing a “fundamental reassessment of what can be considered private online”.
In their experiment, the researchers fed anonymous accounts into an AI, and got it to scrape all the information it could. They gave a hypothetical example of a user talking about struggling at school, and walking their dog Biscuit through a “Dolores park”.
In that hypothetical case, the AI then searched elsewhere for those details and matched @anon_user42 to the known identity with a high degree of confidence.
While this example was fictional, the paper’s authors highlighted scenarios in which governments use AI to surveil dissidents and activists posting anonymously, or hackers are able to launch “highly personalised” scams.
AI surveillance is a rapidly developing field that is causing alarm among computer scientists and privacy experts. It uses LLMs to synthesise information about an individual online which would be impractical for most people to do manually.
Information about members of the public that is readily available online can already be “misused straightforwardly” for scams, said Lermen, including spear-phishing, where a hacker poses as a trusted friend to get victims to follow a malicious link in their inbox.
With the expertise requirement to perform more developed attacks now much lower, hackers only need access to publicly available language models and an internet connection.
Peter Bentley, a professor of computer science at UCL, said there were concerns about commercial uses of the technology “if and when products come out for de-anonymising”.
One issue is that LLMs often make mistakes in linking accounts. “People are going to be accused of things they haven’t done,” warned Bentley.
Another concern, raised by Dr Marc Juárez, a cybersecurity lecturer at the University of Edinburgh, is that LLMs can use public data beyond social media: hospital records, admissions data, and various other statistical releases could fall short of the high standard of anonymisation necessary in the age of AI.
“It is quite alarming. I think this paper is showing that we should reconsider our practices,” said Juarez.
AI is not a magic weapon against anonymity online. While LLMs can de-anonymise records in many situations, sometimes there is not enough information to draw conclusions. In many cases, the number of potential matches is too large to narrow down.
“They can only link across platforms where someone consistently shares the same bits of information in both places,” said Prof Marti Hearst of UC Berkeley’s school of information.
While the technology is not perfect, scientists are now asking institutions and individuals to rethink how they anonymise data in the world of AI.
Lermen has recommended that platforms restrict data access as a first step: enforcing rate limits on user data downloads, detecting automated scraping, and restricting bulk exports of data. But he also noted that individual users can take greater precautions about the information they share online.
“They can only link across platforms where someone consistently shares the same bits of information in both places,”
Good that I'm not on "other platforms".
