What are the Advantages of Using 2-Deoxy-D-Glucose in Cancer Treatment?
The primary advantage of 2-DG is its ability to selectively target cancer cells due to their heightened glucose uptake. This selectivity can potentially result in fewer side effects compared to conventional chemotherapies. Furthermore, 2-DG can be combined with other treatments such as radiation and chemotherapy to enhance their effectiveness by making cancer cells more susceptible to these therapies.
