Immigrant adults with liver cancer in the U.S. have higher survival rates than people with the disease who were born in the U.S., according to research from the USC Norris Comprehensive Cancer Center.
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have discovered that a diet free of the amino acid tryptophan can effectively halt the growth of liver cancer in mice. Their findings, published in Nature Communications, offer new insights for dietary-based cancer treatments and highlight the critical role of the tryptophan metabolite indole 3-pyruvate (I3P) in liver tumor development.
