Metabolic activity grows in human cancers pushed by phenotypic variability

Abstract excerpt

Different evolutionary processes push cancers to increasingly aggressive behaviors, energetically sustained by metabolic reprogramming. The collective signature emerging from this transition is macroscopically displayed by positron emission tomography (PET). In fact, the most readily PET measure, the maximum standardized uptake value (SUV max ), has been found to have prognostic value in different cancers....
