What is the Prognostic Significance of Glucose Transporters in Cancer?
The expression levels of GLUTs, particularly GLUT1, can serve as prognostic biomarkers. High GLUT1 expression is generally associated with advanced tumor stage, increased metastatic potential, and poor patient survival. Thus, assessing GLUT expression levels can provide valuable insights into tumor aggressiveness and aid in the stratification of patients for tailored therapies.
