Expression of enzymes related to glucose metabolism in non-small cell lung cancer and prognosis.

CONCLUSION: It is concluded that an orchestrated activation of glucose absorption and metabolism towards anaerobic pathways characterize the majority of NSCLC, and this phenotype is strongly linked with an aggressive clinical behavior. This glycolytic addiction of lung cancer cell is revealed as a key therapeutic target. PMID: 28644754 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
