Cancer

Cancer refers to a group of more than a hundred diseases that can originate in many different parts of the body. Cancer begins in your cells, which are the building blocks of your body.

Metabolic Flexibility in Cancer: How Diet and Nutrition Shape Tumor Survival and Resistance

Cancer cells survive therapy by dynamically rewiring their metabolism in response to nutrient availability, microenvironmental stress, and therapeutic pressure. This article explains how dietary interventions may exploit metabolic flexibility and plasticity to enhance treatment response while accounting for tumor heterogeneity.
