Are There Any Biomarkers Related to Glucose Metabolism in Cancer?
Yes, several biomarkers related to glucose metabolism are being studied for their potential to predict cancer prognosis and response to therapy. For instance, elevated levels of Lactate and Hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF-1α) can indicate increased glycolytic activity and poor oxygenation, both of which are associated with more aggressive tumors.
