Autophagy and Metabolism: Potential Target for Cancer Therapy

Autophagy and Metabolism: Potential Target for Cancer Therapy presents updated knowledge about the role of autophagy in cancer metabolism and how it can be used to develop new and more efficient treatments. Written by leading experts in the field, it presents information from recent research and explains how to translate it to the clinical setting. The book discusses topics such as tumor cell metabolism and autophagy as therapeutic targets; autophagy regulation in cancer; signaling pathways in metabolic dysregulation in solid tumors; metabolic stress and cell death pathways; and the role of tumor microenvironment. In addition, it covers combined targeting autophagy and metabolism for cancer therapy and the effect of autophagy on immune cell metabolism. It is a valuable resource for researchers, oncologists, graduate students, and members of biomedical field who are interested in learning more about the interaction between autophagy and cancer metabolism. Presents valuable and updated information on the mechanisms of autophagy in cancer metabolism Discusses the various metabolic pathways linked with autophagy that can be a major target for chemotherapeutic strategies Explains how autophagy supports tumor growth by activating metabolic phenotypes in cancer cells and the therapeutic interventions available to halt the process INDICE: 1.
