The Warburg effect is relevant to treating cancer through dietary interventions
Current literature supports the relevance of the Warburg effect to cancer treatment, showing that metabolic dependencies on glycolysis can be leveraged through dietary interventions such as ketogenic diets.
The retrieved literature consistently discusses the Warburg effect as a core metabolic feature of cancer cells and explores how targeting this pathway via dietary interventions, such as carbohydrate restriction and ketogenic diets, can serve as a complementary therapeutic strategy.
