Tumor cell metabolism. In the primary tumor site, cancer cells mainly rely on aerobic glycolysis (Warburg effect) and this metabolism favors cell proliferation and tumor growth. Some cancer cells escape from the primary tumor site through the bloodstream, generating metastasis in other organs. It is thought that, to do this, some cancer cell types switch to a more oxidative metabolism.
