Research reveals how cancers shift between sugar, ketones, and amino acids, leading to treatments targeting all metabolic pathways.
The very trait that makes your metabolism healthy can make cancer deadly.

Metabolic flexibility—the cells’ ability to switch efficiently between fuel sources such as glucose and fat—is usually a hallmark of good health. However, when cancer cells gain the same adaptability, it becomes their survival advantage, enabling tumors to evade treatment and resist even the most targeted therapies.

This paradox is forcing researchers to rethink decades of cancer treatment strategies and develop new approaches that simultaneously attack tumors on multiple metabolic fronts.
