Key information
One of the revised hallmarks of cancer is dysregulated energy metabolism. This session will cover the historical and modern concepts of glucose utilization and energy generation in cancer, how it may affect tumor cell behavior, and strategies for intervention.Learning Objectives
- Compare the historical and modern concepts in cancer of glucose utilization and energy generation
- Discuss how glucose utilization and energy generation affects tumor cell behavior
- Identify strategies for intervention in cancer bioenergetics
