科学家发现癌症代谢变化

Hundreds of potential targets for new cancer drugs that could starve tumors have been identified by scientists who analyzed gene expression data from 22 types of malignancies.

可能已确定由科学家通过对22种恶性肿瘤的基因表达数据进行分析发现了数以百计的攻击目标，新的抗癌药物可以攻击这些目标以饿死肿瘤细胞。

The study revealed a number of cancer-associated changes in the metabolism of cells. To support their uncontrolled growth, cancer cells need to reprogram and "supercharge" a cell's normal metabolism, the researchers explained.

该研究揭示了在细胞的新陈代谢过程里一些与癌症相关的变化。研究人员解释说，为了支持它们不受控制的生长，癌细胞需要重新编程，严重影响细胞的正常代谢。
