since leukocytes require glucose for energy to promote intercellular decontamination (chemotaxis, phagocytosis). This causes prolonged infection, which delays healing and wounds progress to chronic inflammation. Chronic inflammation, increased lymphocyte and macrophage activity, is an extension of acute inflammation that lasts 2 or more weeks and eventually leads to the formation of a granuloma (Huether & Rote,…

It has been shown that some tumour cells can express the ligand for the PD-1 receptor…
