“components that tumors need to build new cells and grow.”
Why would cancer cells have different nutritional needs from other cells?

Uh, maybe b because they are cancer cells, not normal, healthy cells.
In some Cancer cells mitochondria have their metabolism function altered.
It switches off the metabolism of sugar and switches on the metabolism of fat for the energy for cell use.
In the body the liver changes fructose in to fat.
I don’t know the biological mechanism behind cancer cells demand for sugar.
But, the PETN scan uses a radioactive sugar for detecting cancer. The radiologically visible sugar concentrates in cancerous tumors.
Personally been through the process three times.
