Scientists found a surprising way fructose helps cancer cells spread

This research was done in the lab, and the team hasn’t yet confirmed the mechanism holds true in living organisms or actual patients. The researchers also aren’t claiming this pattern applies broadly yet: while they suspect other cancers that spread within the torso — including pancreatic, colon, and liver cancer — might behave similarly, given that these cancers share some biological similarities with ovarian cancer’s spread pattern, Dr. Aird was direct about the limits of current evidence: “We can’t call it universal yet.” Follow-up experiments testing whether the same fructose-signaling pathway shows up in other cancer types are already underway.
