Metastatic breast cancer relies heavily on amino acids for its growth and survival. These essential nutrients can be synthesized or absorbed directly from circulating serum, making them an attractive metabolic target. While enzymatic inhibition of amino acid biosynthetic pathways has shown limited success in clinical settings, reducing dietary intake may represent a more effective alternative.
