Metabolism is a set of chemical reactions which sustain the life of an organism. Cancer cells are living organisms which need energy to grow and spread. They make this energy through the process known as cancer metabolism. Cancer cells use more glucose than healthy cells and create less energy, which they use to multiply and spread. Researches are underway to develop ways to stop or slow down cancer metabolism, while exempting the healthy cells. Targeted therapies are a new approach to cancer treatment, which prevents the cancer cells from growing by slowing their metabolism. This book includes some of the vital pieces of work being conducted across the world, on various topics related to cancer metabolism. The various advancements in oncology are glanced at and their applications as well as ramifications are looked at in detail. A number of latest researches have been included in this book to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
