Computational biology model (CBM) predicts nutrient dependency of cancer patients based on Tumor Genomics: Implication of precision diet in cancer therapy

Tumor metabolism is the hallmark of cancer cells. Cancer cells utilize different nutrient sources to drive the metabolic pathways to sustain tumor growth. Glucose (Glu) and Glutamine (Gln) are the primary nutrient sources on which cancer cells thrive. Developing precision diet based on patient’s molecular characteristics can help treat the cancer with dietary modulations along with traditional approaches.
