Metabolic Therapy for Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide (2025)

Introduction: The Rise of Metabolic Therapy in Cancer Care The field of oncology is generally based on three treatment areas: medical oncology, radiation oncology, and surgical oncology. However, another area is looming on the horizon, quickly gaining traction as a new and exciting frontier of cancer treatment. Metabolic oncology, also known as cancer metabolism, focuses on how cancer cells use energy and nutrients differently than normal cells. Scientists working in metabolic oncology look for targets in these metabolic processes to create treatments that can specifically attack cancer cells while protecting healthy cells. Leading researchers have discovered innovative ways to prevent diseases from spreading and drastically improve patient outcomes. A groundbreaking approach is emerging in oncology that targets cancer cell metabolism. This innovative strategy targets the unique way cancer cells process energy and nutrients, offering new hope for patients and clinicians ...
