There has been great progress in the diagnosis and treatment of many cancers, but more work is needed.
Current treatments are effective for a while, but eventually cancer breaks through, finding new mechanisms to evade treatment.
One of the ways cancer works around treatment regimens is by co-opting a patients’ metabolism and stealing its resources. Tumor cells are hungry and need high amounts of fuel and oxygen to survive and spread.
Our focus is on the interactions between cancer and the patient’s metabolism, and disrupting cancer’s supply chain.
