Sponsor's own description

It is well established that cancer cells have fundamentally altered metabolism, which contributes to tumorigenicity and malignancy. For years, research findings supported that the universal property of all cancer cells was to increase glycolytic flux for anaerobic glycolysis (i.e., Warburg effect), which was accepted as the dominant pathway for energy metabolism. Fortunately, by understanding these changes in cellular metabolism multiple new approaches to cancer therapy, focused on reprogramming the energy metabolism of the cell. Recently, further investigation in the field found that cancer cells exhibit multiple alterations in metabolic pathways, not only glycolysis. Alterations in lipid metabolism in cancer cells have recently been recognized as potential targets for therapeutic interventions due to its role in cellular proliferation, energy storage, and the generation of signaling molecules. Numerous cancer types can rely on lipids as an energy source, increasing fatty acid synthesis and degradation to promote proliferation and metastasis. Several therapeutic agents utilized in gynecologic malignancies impact lipid metabolism. The objective of the proposed study will be to determine the impact of cancer directed therapy on the lipid metabolism of non-malignant tissues. No study to date has assessed whole-body lipid metabolism in patients undergoing chemotherapy (i.e. cytotoxic chemotherapy and/or immunotherapy). These novel findings will provide crucial knowledge about the dysregulation of whole-body metabolism in patients receiving chemotherapy for treatment of gynecologic cancer.
