Abstract in brief

  • The Warburg Effect describes how cancer cells modify their metabolism by increasing glucose uptake and converting it to lactate, even when mitochondria are working properly, to support growth and survival.
  • Although studied extensively for over a century, the exact purpose of the Warburg Effect in cancer remains unclear, with many theories and ongoing debates about its role.
  • Recent research continues to explore various explanations for why cancer cells rely on this altered metabolic process, highlighting the complexity and controversies surrounding its function.]

But is there a common feature underlying oncogenesis? And can that be targeted? It would appear that is still up for debate. https://t.co/pnOpqGiGOW
