Cancer Metabolism
About Cancer Metabolism
After a cancer diagnosis, many people want to know what they can do alongside the treatment plan from their oncology team. Questions about sugar and how cancer cells use fuel, breast and prostate cancer, type 2 diabetes in the picture, fatigue during treatment, and how to stay strong through chemo are all things these experts hear about every day. These talks also go past the tumor itself. Cancer metabolism connects to blood sugar, inflammation, mitochondria, the immune system and toxic exposures. You'll find conversations on integrative oncology, fasting and fasting-mimicking diets, metabolic flexibility, nutrition after breast cancer, and managing prostate cancer treatment side effects. Integrative oncologists, doctors and nutrition experts explain what's actually going on, which tests are worth asking your care team about, from cancer biomarkers and imaging to metabolic and inflammatory markers, and what may support you alongside treatment with your care team, from ketogenic and time-restricted eating to targeted nutrients, IV therapies and mitochondrial support.
