Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT: Many tumor cells predominantly generate energy through high rates of glycolysis. Pyruvate kinase M2 (PKM2) has been identified as being necessary for aerobic glycolysis. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to investigate the expression pattern of PKM2 in papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) and the possible role of PKM2 in PTC. DESIGN: The expression of PKM2 in human thyroid tissues was examined using...
