Glycolysis-related gene expression profiling serves as a novel prognosis risk predictor for human hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract Metabolic pattern reconstruction is an important factor in tumor progression. Metabolism of tumor cells is characterized by abnormal increase in anaerobic glycolysis, regardless of high oxygen concentration, resulting in a significant accumulation of energy from glucose sources. These chang...
