摘要:
A method for treating cancer by killing selected tumor cells such as human breast, non-small cell lung cancer cells, pancreatic cancer cells, osteosarcoma cancer cells, and glioblastoma cells, includes administering to a patient in need of treatment, an effective amount of at least one mannose analog such as 2-DG or 2-FM or 2-CM. The killing is believed to be due to an interference with glycosylation. A theranostic method includes determining whether a patient. cancer tumor sample comprises cells sensitive to killing to at least one mannose analog due to an interference with glycosylation.
