Title: Selective Metabolic Reprogramming in Tumor Cells: A TheoreticalApproach to Inhibit MetastasisKeywords: Tumor Metabolism, Aerobic Glycolysis, Metabolic Inhibitors, Metastasis,Cancer TherapyAbstractThis paper proposes a theoretical strategy to contain metastasis through selectivemetabolic reprogramming of tumor cells. Instead of directly targeting epigeneticmechanisms, this approach suggests using specific inhibitors to block aerobic glycolysis(Warburg effect) and redirect metabolism to pathways that induce apoptosis. Thisstrategy, based on well-known metabolic inhibitors and redirection techniques, presentsa lower risk of toxicity and simplifies clinical application. The proposal aims to serve asa basis for future experimental studies.1. IntroductionThe metabolism of tumor cells significantly differs from normal cells, characterized byan excessive reliance on aerobic glycolysis — a phenomenon known as the Warburgeffect. This metabolic adaptation promotes survival and metastatic dissemination.Selective inhibition of this metabolic pathway, combined with redirection to pathwaysthat promote apoptosis, represents a promising and less complex approach to limitmetastatic progression.
