Fructose's role in cancer recurrence
A recent study conducted at the West Institute in Philadelphia, USA, investigated the role of fructose in promoting the recurrence and spread of cancer tumors after chemotherapy, particularly in high-grade ovarian cancer, which accounts for about 75% of ovarian cancer-related deaths. The study revealed that senescent cancer cells utilize fructose as a signaling signal to stimulate their spread to other areas, through secretions containing this sugar that enhance tumor size and facilitate dissemination. The findings also showed that changes in how cells utilize nutrients and reprogramming to convert glucose into fructose play a key role in promoting cancer spread, even though the cells no longer regain the ability to divide. This research highlights the significance of fructose as a central factor in the mechanism of recurrent tumor dissemination following treatment.
