Effect of lactate on the tumor microenvironment (TME). Lactate secretion by tumors and stromal cells mainly acidifies the tumor microenvironment and creates a lactate interchange between them that increases tumor cell survival and proliferation. Lactate also stimulates tumor angiogenesis via endothelial cells and contributes to the immune scape by altering several immune infiltrating cells.
