Research activities have presented different methods in cancer prevention, early detection, screening, diagnosis, and treatment. Furthermore, several compounds have shown tremendous influence into understanding buildup and breakdown of cancer cells. One major compound that has promoted breakthrough in cancer studies is glycogen and its functional attributes controlling cellular activities. Glycogen has been linked to diver activities that promote malignancy, including proliferation, migration, invasion, and chemoresistance of cancer cells. Currently, glycogen metabolism has become a recognized feature of cancer cells since it is upregulated in many tumor types, suggesting that it is an important aspect of cancer cell pathophysiology. The aim of this investigation was to identify several metabolic factors associated with glycogen metabolism suggesting it as an effective compound in cancer treatment. The report furthermore provides detailed information about the importance and relevance of enzymatic reactions, also the need to discover new metabolites with hypermetabolic hyperactivities toward treatment of diseases.
