Following the links to the original research shows that it is from 2007, latest update to the FAQ by the university is only a few days old. From the FAQ
When will DCA become a treatment option for cancer patients?

When more clinical trials in more than a few centres show DCA does not hurt patients and helps them more than a placebo.
Until then, its use from unregulated and "for-profit" and without medical supervision is both inappropriate and dangerous, because at the wrong doses and in the wrong patient DCA can be toxic.
