Abstract

Cancer cells adapt to changes in nutrient and oxygen availability by adopting alternative metabolic pathways.Fatty acid oxidation in cancer cells is a survival mechanism of action to glucose deprivation.Lipid scavenging is utilized to enable cancer cells to survive periods of tumor regression.Distinct, and often complementary, metabolic processes operate concurrently within a single tumor.
