I don't know about the "no one noticed" bit - that story was all over the news when it was released. But the spin in that article is ludicrous and it was clearly written by someone with no scientific/medical knowledge, let alone understanding of cancer.
DCA shows a small amount of promise for treatment of a couple of specific types of cancer - it certainly isn't a "cure all cancer" drug (and I highly doubt anything ever will be - cancer is not one disease). There is also ongoing study of it.
The medical industry would not/could not suppress a cure if such a thing existed - even if you buy the argument that the industry makes too much money from treatment, the individual researchers are a different story, and anyone who could come up with a real cure for all types of cancer would be fabulously wealthy, famous, and almost certainly win the Nobel. A lot of cancer research is also not done by private industry, but by universities and government-funded researchers.
