DCA 4: Decline Curve Analysis | Case Study

Dichloroacetate (DCA) is a chemical compound that has gained attention for its potential role in cancer treatment. One of the main ways DCA helps treat cancer is by restoring normal glucose metabolism in cancer cells. Cancer cells often rely on a process called glycolysis to produce energy, even when oxygen is present, which is abnormal. This is known as the “Warburg effect,” and it allows cancer cells to grow and divide rapidly. DCA works by reactivating the mitochondria—the cell’s energy power
