CCE Lecture: Metabolomics in Cancer

Dear Colleagues, Welcome to the next Cancer Core Europe (CCE) Lecture, hosted by INT: Title: Metabolomics in Cancer Speaker: Claudio Vernieri, MD PhD, Medical Oncology Specialist, Breast Unit; Medical Oncology Department Fondazione IRCCS Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori Time: July 14, 2025, 11.00 - 12.00 CEST Zoom link: istitutotumorimi.webex.com/istitutotumorimi-it/j.php Abstract Biological analyses of tumor tissues showed that the FMD (fasting-mimicking diet) reduces the ability of cancer cells to utilize glucose—a key nutrient supporting tumor growth and immune evasion. This represents the first evidence in cancer patients that a powerful nutritional intervention such as the FMD can significantly alter the metabolic properties of tumor cells. What is Cancer Core Europe (CCE)? Cancer Core Europe is a consortium of seven leading cancer centres (www.cancercoreeurope.eu). CCEs members are driven by a strong will to reshape the cancer research model to ultimately increase the European Union’s competitiveness as a place to conduct cutting-edge research that’s translated to the clinic to deliver more personalized medicine. What is the content and aim of the CCE Lecture? The CCE Lecture series is a CCE-internal event, which educates and informs about state-of-the-art research within the seven centers and is aimed to increase awareness among partners about each other’s activities and potential for collaboration. Join us for this event!
