A Surprising Relationship Between Cancer and Metabolism Advocated 100 Years Ago<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A number of studies have been published in recent years suggesting that cancer may have a weakness called \"abnormal metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The origin of this theory dates back to the 1920s, when German scientist Otto Warburg proposed the idea that cancer cells have an abnormal metabolism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Normal cells use both oxygen and glucose as energy sources, but cancer cells tend to use glucose exclusively as an energy source, even in the presence of sufficient oxygen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This characteristic is also used in the early detection of cancer by positron emission tomography (PET) scans, which detect cancer cells (which consume a lot of glucose) by visualizing the amount of glucose consumed by the cells.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is glucose restriction effective? Relationship between metabolic syndrome and cancer<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

So, can restricting carbohydrates drive cancer cells to starvation?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At this time, no scientist is recommending that extreme sugar restriction. However, several studies have linked excessive sugar intake, including sugary beverages and refined carbohydrates, to an increased risk of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the other hand, studies have shown that diabetics who take metformin, a drug that lowers blood sugar levels, are less likely to develop cancer than those who do not take the drug.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metabolic Syndrome: A Vicious Cycle that Promotes Cancer Cell Growth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Normal cells are able to control their growth in response to hormonal signals. However, cancer cells escape this control system due to metabolic abnormalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two hormones, leptin and adiponectin, which are secreted by adipose tissue, can play a role in turning normal cells into cancer cells if they are out of balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low levels of adiponectin and high levels of leptin have been associated with obesity and metabolic syndrome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This hormonal imbalance \"is associated with increased cancer risk through insulin resistance and inflammation, two major factors in cancer.\" (Reference article: \"'Skinny Drug' Also Reduces Inflammation, Uncovers Surprising Effect, Sheds Light on Broader Applications\")<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Genes and metabolism: chicken first or egg first?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

However, whether genetic changes cause abnormal metabolism in cancer or, conversely, whether abnormal metabolism causes genetic changes, has not yet been fully elucidated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When metabolic syndrome causes genetic changes, it creates a predisposition to cancer,\" explains Dr. Suresh T. Chari, a gastroenterologist at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. But the cancer itself also causes a number of metabolic abnormalities that may lead to its own survival, possibly years before it is diagnosed.\"<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

New Hope for Cancer Treatment: A Metabolism-Focused Approach<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

According to Chari, the link between cancer and metabolic abnormalities hides a clue to treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Metabolic diseases such as diabetes, lipid levels in the blood, and \"C-reactive protein,\" an indicator of inflammation, may aid in the early detection of cancer, which is often overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And because cancer and metabolic abnormalities are closely related, therapies that combat metabolic abnormalities could also be used to control all types of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Early Detection and Prevention: What Diet and Lifestyle Can Do<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our understanding of cancer and metabolism is ever-evolving, and it is hoped that monitoring blood sugar, blood pressure, cholesterol, and other parameters and correcting metabolic dysfunctions may lead to early detection and complete prevention of cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, there is skepticism about how much diet and lifestyle modifications can contribute to cancer prevention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some argue that \"these factors, which can be improved, carry only a small risk, so we should not burden patients with information [about their association with cancer].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, researchers stress the importance of providing information so that patients themselves can take action to prevent or control the progression of their disease.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, a study by Shah and colleagues showed that sweetened beverages increase the risk of multiple myeloma, while whole grains, fruits, and vegetables reduce the risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
