Study identifies new nutrient-based mechanism of cancer proliferation, drug resistance.

Cancer researchers have known for years that tumours have unusual metabolisms, their rapid use of glucose is used as a diagnostic tool for tumours in PET scans.  However, only recently have scientists begun to flesh out the details of this metabolic shift.  Now, a new study from researchers at the Ludwig Cancer Research and University of California, San Diego have shown that glioblastoma tumours can leverage … Continue reading Study identifies new nutrient-based mechanism of cancer proliferation, drug resistance.
