LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Glucose in endoplasmic reticulum stress and immune system disruption: a possible role in cancer development
 

This letter suggests that new studies are required into the possible relationship between cancer and the rapid up/down-regulation of glucose levels from long term high sugar dietary behaviour. Where there is no external carcinogenic influence, such as toxic insult or oxidative stress, long-term high glucose intake may play several roles in cancer development and metastasis.
