Abstract

Aberrant metabolic pathways present in breast cancer contribute to breast cancer heterogeneity.Differences in glycolytic upregulation among breast cancer subtypes can be attributed to GLUT expression.Choline metabolism in breast cancer is strongly associated with tumor grades. Different roles of estrogen in estrogen metabolism and ER binding promote breast cancer tumorigenicity.Metabolic profiling of breast cancers can be used for clinical breast cancer diagnosis and prediction of recurrence or metastasis.
