[Editor's note: As a?New Year's exercise, we asked a?select group of Xconomists to answer this question: "What's the craziest idea out there that just might?succeed?"]
Drugs for type 2?diabetes have the potential to become effective therapies for certain types of cancers. Tumor cells have increased energy needs, and starving them of their natural energy sources, impairing their ability to generate energy from glucose, or altering their metabolics, could successfully stop cancer cells from growing. The key will be to determine which tumor types are most sensitive to metabolic and energy?imbalances.
