These findings indicate that berberine and enzalutamide represent a promising combination for further investigation, particularly in prostate tumors that have acquired resistance to standard care. The authors also noted that the specific AMPK-mTORC1 mechanism highlighted in the study could serve as a valuable framework to guide the development of future drug combinations intended to bypass…

Immune checkpoint inhibitors can produce powerful anticancer responses, but immune activation can also cause inflammation in normal tissues. Early recognition and guideline-based management of immune-related adverse events are essential. Immunotherapy Has Changed Cancer Treatment Immune checkpoint inhibitors have transformed the treatment of multiple cancers. Agents targeting pathways such as: PD-1 PD-L1 CTLA-4 can enhance antitumor…

Cancer treatment can change appetite, taste, swallowing, gastrointestinal function, metabolism and physical activity. Evidence-based oncology nutrition focuses on maintaining adequate nutrition, muscle and treatment tolerance—not finding a single “perfect cancer diet.” Cancer Treatment Changes Nutritional Needs Cancer patients are frequently given dietary advice ranging from evidence-based recommendations to highly restrictive diets. The central question should…

Exercise is increasingly recognized as an evidence-supported component of cancer care. It can improve physical function, fitness, strength and treatment-related symptoms, although evidence for cancer-control benefits varies by disease and clinical setting. Exercise Is Part of Modern Cancer Care Exercise is sometimes treated as a lifestyle recommendation separate from oncology. The evidence increasingly supports a…

Metformin is one of the most studied repurposed drugs in oncology. Its biological effects provide a compelling research rationale, but laboratory and observational findings should not be confused with established anticancer efficacy. Why Is Metformin Being Studied in Cancer? Metformin is one of the most widely prescribed medications for type 2 diabetes. Interest in oncology…

CYP3A4: Why Drug–Herb Interactions Matter When patients combine prescription medicines, herbs, supplements and repurposed drugs, one question matters: Can one treatment change the way another is metabolized? One of the key systems involved is CYP3A4, an enzyme found mainly in the liver and intestinal wall. The simple rule CYP3A4 inhibition→ slower drug breakdown→ potentially higher…

One of the most important developments in modern cancer biology is the recognition that there is no single metabolic program shared by every cancer cell. The classic Warburg effect describes the tendency of many cancer cells to increase glucose uptake and glycolysis even when oxygen is available. This remains an important feature of cancer biology,…

A Practical Guide to Drug Repurposing and a Systems Oncology Approach A Different Way to Understand Cancer Cancer is more than a collection of abnormal cells. It is a complex, evolving system involving metabolism, inflammation, immunity, the tumor microenvironment and many interacting pathways. Garden of Recovery brings these concepts together in a practical, patient-friendly guide to…
