Summary
Cancer cells with an increase in glycolysis, which are more invasive and deadly, can be targeted through PET scan to increase the effectiveness of treatment, according to ongoing clinical trials. Watchful waiting can also be a viable option as autopsies have shown that people with tumors can live for many years without experiencing any negative effects.
