Abstract

Through metabolic subtyping, metabolic vulnerabilities can be exploited for developing efficacious treatments. A glycolytic subtype indicates poor survival in patients with pancreatic cancer, whereas a cholesterogenic subtype correlates with better outcomes potentially due to more energy expenditure. Personalized medicine holds great promise for improving therapy outcomes by optimally targeting metabolic pathways.<i>See related article by Karasinska et al., p. 135</i>.
