Abstract

It is well established that patients with altered metabolism manifesting as obesity, metabolic syndrome and chronic inflammation have an increased incidence of cancer; indicating a crucial relationship between host metabolic system and cancer growth. However, the impact of the systemic metabolic system in the host on the local onco-sphere has not been deeply studied especially on how the host dysregulated metabolism could affect the drug absorption and excertion to have significant effect on tumor has not been studied in detail. Interestingly, more research is now supporting the idea that metabolic states and disorders linked to obesity affect not only the number of people who get cancer but also how well they respond to treatments like radiation and chemotherapy. Therefore, in this chapter, we discuss on the host metabolic diseases and how these changes therapeutic efficacy of cancer-related drugs, and the underlying mechanism which might be responsible to this phenomenon. This chapter details the importance of host metabolic changes in cancer progression.
