Lecture notes from Imperial College London, Medical Biosciences BSc course, 2nd year, Cancer Biology module. Cancer metabolism lecture notes: cancer cells adapt their metabolism to be able to grow and divide rapidly. Cancer cells grow and divide very rapidly, it is one of the established hallmarks of cancer. In order to be able to grow so quickly, often in environments which are less than optimal, cancer cells have adapted and evolved novel mechanisms to be able to acquire the sufficient ...
