Lactate has a key role in cancer progression. Microenvironmental secreted lactate increases angiogenesis, motility and migration of cancer cells. Lactate is directly involved in the ‘immune escape’ by decreasing activation of T cells and promoting Treg proliferation. Lactate increases extracellular acidosis of the tumor microenvironment (TME) stimulating chemoresistance.
