Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Other interventions - [U-13C]Glucose Infusion

Experimental: [U-13C]Glucose Infusion - A 13.3% solution of sterile, pyrogen-free [U-13C]glucose in sterile water will be infused intravenously rapidly over 10 minutes to a total dose of 8 grams (bolus dose). Then the infusion will change to a rate of 4 grams/ hour. The infusion will continue until the time of tumour excision or biopsy, planned 2-3 hours.

No Intervention: No [U-13C]Glucose Infusion - Blood and tissue samples to be collected for translational research studies, no other additional intervention.
