Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The Warburg effect describes increased glucose uptake in cancer cells, and glucose transporter proteins are overexpressed in many tumors. In this study, we evaluated the expression of 14 SLC2A genes encoding glucose transporter proteins in papillary thyroid carcinoma patients. METHODS: Clinical information and gene expression data from 499 papillary thyroid carcinoma patients were downloaded from The...
