The team from the Cancer Research UK (CRUK) Beatson Institute also found it could make chemotherapy more effective against some tumours.
They carried out their experiments on mice but say it could one day lead to human treatment.
The Glasgow study may point to a way of "starving" cancerous cells.
Every cell in our bodies feeds on the sugar glucose. Tumour cells consume even more.
The team of Glasgow University, fed mice with tumours another sugar called mannose.
Mannose occurs naturally in many fruits. It is also made in some cells in our bodies.
Its molecular structure is very nearly identical to that of glucose but the tiny difference seems to hold a crucial key.
The mice had different types of tumours. Some were given mannose three times a week through a feeding tube. Others got it continuously in their drinking water.
Writing in the journal Nature, team report the mice showed no obvious side effects from the mannose. More importantly, the sugar appeared to reduce significantly the growth of some kinds of tumours.
The process was repeated, this time with the widely-used chemotherapy drugs cisplatin and doxorubicin to see if mannose increased their effectiveness. In some cases, tumour growth appeared to slow and the lifespans of some mice actually increased.
