Potential Kidney Cancer Therapy Starves Cancer Cells of Glucose


Researchers at Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a drug called STF-31 that starves and kills some kidney cancer cells by cutting off their energy supply of glucose. STF-31 works by binding to a particular glucose transporter. Testing in mice inhibited glucose transport by about half and resulted in slowed tumor growth with limited … Continue reading Potential Kidney Cancer Therapy Starves Cancer Cells of Glucose
