Acid-mediated tumor invasion model implicated altered glucose metabolism in cancer pathology
Published in Medical Imaging Week, July 29th, 2006
According to a study from the United States, "The acid-mediated tumor invasion hypothesis proposes altered glucose metabolism and increased glucose uptake, observed in the vast majority of clinical cancers by fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography, are critical for development of the invasive phenotype. In this model, increased acid production due to altered glucose metabolism serves as a key intermediate by producing H+ flow along concentration gradients into adjacent normal tissue."
