Wow! It would be a blessing to the world to have this treatment be safe and effective. I wonder about human trials...the article is a bit sparse on details.

What a neat idea!
How long will we have to wait for the “sugar bomb” cancer treatment?
So many promising studies sound so hopeful. Then we never hear about them again.
I rigorously adhere to the FR tradition of only reading the headlines, but not the story. So, chocolate lava cake ala mode cures cancer, huh? I always knew that stuff was health food.
Maybe a lifesaving treatment, let’s pray it is.
Could not find “seNBD” result in “search” on Nature Communication website. Or “Sugar bomb”
The description rendered on the Sun site reads as a non scientific description IMHO.
The only reference to sugar bomb and cancer on google search is to the sun article.
Anybody have a better reference?
Praise God!

I remember a former President being ridiculed for musing about using light to cure disease in the body
What a blessing!

When oncologists suspect cancer they locate it with a “PET scan”. The patient fasts overnight, then techs feed the patient radio-actively-tagged sugar. Then the techs take radio images which light up in places where cancer devours the sugar. This should tell us something.

I pray this is a promising treatment that comes to fruition, but I have been fooled so many times by promises of upcoming cancer treatments, I have become jaded and skeptical.
Let me know what this is in use and works. Untl then, I just don’t care. I am full to the brim with cancer treatment promises that have never come true for the past 50 years. I won’t be fooled again. This is like the boy who cried wolf.
I am not blaming the OP. The article is interesting in that this is a completely new thing I have never heard of before. It is definitly interesting, but I just refuse to get my hopes up for it after being fooled 100 times in the past 50 years over one promising treatment after another, that never came true.
Like I said, let me know when this is saving lives and I will start to pay attention. Until then, this is just another disappointment in a long list.
Wow, if true.
