Investigation of energy metabolic dynamism in hyperthermia-resistant ovarian and uterine cancer cells under heat stress

Abstract Despite progress in the use of hyperthermia in clinical practice, the thermosensitivity of cancer cells is poorly understood. In a previous study, we found that sensitivity to hyperthermia varied between ovarian and uterine cancer cell lines. Upon hyperthermia, glycolytic enzymes decreased...
