Tumor metabolomics is an emerging field focused on understanding the metabolic alterations that occur in tumor cells and their surrounding microenvironment. These changes are essential to support the rapid proliferation and survival of cancer cells. Metabolic reprogramming in tumor cells reshapes signaling pathways and influences transcriptional regulation. Furthermore, metabolites within the tumor microenvironment can significantly affect immune cell function, contributing to immune evasion and tumor progression. Integrating transcriptomic, proteomic, and metabolomic data has enabled researchers to map associations between transcriptional regulators and metabolites, offering insights into the complexity of tumor metabolism. Tumor metabolomics holds promise for advancing cancer research, with applications in diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Innovative approaches, including the integration of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and advanced drug delivery systems, are being explored to modulate tumor immunity and metabolism, offering new therapeutic avenues for tumor intervention. Understanding these metabolic processes is key to improving treatment strategies and outcomes for cancer patients.
