This feat is possible because cancer cells emit a different kind of metabolic waste than healthy cells.

Because cancer cell metabolism relies upon glucose, minimizing a tumor's access to sugar as a means to manage or even limit cancerous cell growth has been the subject of several recent cancer therapy studies.

«That's because a cancer cell is hyperactive and has a different biochemistry on its surface and degree of activity that it exhibits.
