Out of Warburg effect: An effective cancer treatment targeting the tumor specific metabolism and dysregulated pH

This 2017 review explores targeting the Warburg effect—a metabolic hallmark where cancer cells favor glycolysis over oxidative phosphorylation, leading to an acidic tumor microenvironment. The authors propose a therapeutic strategy combining metabolic modulators (e.g., dichloroacetate, metformin) and pH regulators to disrupt cancer cell metabolism and restore pH balance. Preclinical studies

Current approaches to the management of brain metastases

This 2020 review provides a comprehensive overview of evolving strategies in the management of brain metastases (BMs), the most common intracranial tumors in adults, affecting 20–40% of patients with metastatic cancer. Advances in neuroimaging facilitate earlier and more accurate detection. Management has shifted from traditional whole-brain radiotherapy (WBRT) and neurosurgical
