Urolithin A Evidence by Cancer Type
Cancer-type guide to Urolithin A in oncology research across GI, hormonal, urothelial, liver, lung, brain, prostate, and bone-cancer settings
This section groups the Urolithin A oncology evidence into focused cancer-type pages as the evidence base becomes strong enough to support them properly.
That structure keeps each cancer page easier to navigate and makes future updates simpler.
Available pages
Colorectal Cancer — strongest current evidence, including Wnt signalling, AKT1-related immune effects, and chemotherapy sensitisation
Pancreatic Cancer — one of the strongest mechanistic settings, with KRAS-pathway relevance, stromal remodelling, and anti-PD-1 sensitisation data
Prostate Cancer — most clinically advanced evidence, including androgen-receptor signalling, NK-cell data, and the active phase II trial
Breast Cancer — subtype-based evidence across ER-positive, triple-negative, and HER2-positive contexts
Endometrial Cancer — ERα and ERβ remodelling, G2/M arrest, and one of the cleaner hormone-biology settings for Urolithin A
Glioblastoma — blood-brain-barrier penetration, Sirt1-FOXO1 signalling, and tumour-microenvironment findings
Liver Cancer (HCC) — direct HCC cell-line findings plus wider hepatoprotective and gut-liver-axis relevance in chronic liver disease
Lung Cancer — multiple independent NSCLC mechanisms, including EMT inhibition, autophagy-linked mTOR suppression, and in vivo xenograft evidence
Osteosarcoma — early anti-metastatic evidence focused on migration, invasion, and MMP2/MMP9 suppression
Bladder Cancer — unusually strong UMUC3 sensitivity, G2/M arrest, apoptosis, and plausible urinary-exposure relevance
If a cancer type is not listed here yet, it can be added later as the evidence base grows.
