The hallmarks of cancer metabolism: still emerging
Open accessAbstract
Metabolism of cancer cells is geared toward biomass production and proliferation. Since the metabolic resources within the local tissue are finite, this can lead to nutrient depletion and accumulation of metabolic waste. To maintain growth in these conditions, cancer cells employ a variety of metabolic adaptations, the nature of which is collectively determined by the physiology of their cell of origin, the identity of transforming lesions, and the tissue in which cancer cells reside. Furthermore, select metabolites not only serve as substrates for energy and biomass generation, but can also regulate gene and protein expression and influence the behavior of non-transformed cells in the tumor vicinity. As they grow and metastasize, tumors can also affect and be affected by the nutrient distribution within the body. In this hallmark update, recent advances are incorporated into a conceptual framework that may help guide further research efforts in exploring cancer cell metabolism.

Cancer cells primarily use glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids to meet their biosynthetic needs.
“In other words, cancer cells primarily use glucose, fatty acids, and amino acids to meet their biosynthetic needs [49–52].”
From Mesenchymal stromal cells in bone marrow niche of patients with multiple myeloma: a double-edged sword (2025) · cites this paper as [50]
The Introduction’s “Deregulated uptake of glucose and amino acids” section describes glucose-derived carbon and glutamine supporting biosynthesis. “Use of central carbon metabolism to support biosynthesis” describes fatty acids chiefly as products of lipogenesis, while “Use of opportunistic modes of nutrient acquisition” describes extracellular lipid uptake under particular conditions. The copy therefore does not support grouping fatty acids with glucose and amino acids as nutrients cancer cells primarily use for biosynthesis. (LLM, conf=0.85)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredAlthough glycolysis produces less ATP per glucose than OXPHOS, it maintains bioenergetic flux during oxygen deprivation and generates intermediates for biosynthetic pathways such as the pentose phosphate pathway and fatty acid or amino acid synthesis.
“While glycolysis is less efficient than oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) in generating ATP per molecule of glucose, the switch to glycolysis enables maintained bioenergetic flux during oxygen deprivation, and generates glycolytic intermediates that can be diverted into biosynthetic processes such as the pentose phosphate pathway (PPP) for nucleotide biosynthesis or fatty acid and amino acid”

The two hallmarks exhibit commonalities but also differences or antagonisms between aging-associated deregulated nutrient sensing and cancer-associated deregulation of cellular energy metabolism.
“Both hallmarks exhibit clear commonalities, but there are also some differences or even antagonisms between aging-associated deregulated nutrient sensing and cancer-associated deregulation of cellular energy metabolism.[204][205][206]”
From Meta-hallmarks of aging and cancer (2023) · cites this paper as [204]
Several chemical intermediates of the TCA cycle serve as critical precursors for biosynthetic reactions.
“However, several chemical intermediates of the TCA cycle also serve as critical precursors for biosynthetic reactions, which we will discuss in detail later (5, 6).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
