Cancer cells maintain redox balance. Cancer cells have an elevated production of ROS, which activates proximal signaling pathways necessary for tumorigenesis. The high rate of ROS production is counterbalanced by an equally high rate of antioxidant activity in cancer cells to maintain redox balance. GPX, glutathione peroxidases; PRXs, peroxiredoxins.
