Semicarbazide-cadmium therapy, also known as the Kachugin method, was an experimental cancer therapy tested in several clinical trials in the Soviet Union during the 1960s, devised by the Russian physician and chemist Anatoly Trofimovich Kachugin. Semicarbazide acts as an irreversible inhibitor of the enzyme semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase, which may be involved in worsening inflammation, while cadmium is a heavy metal capable of inducing cell death by apoptosis.
