Figure 1
From proliferation to quiescence and aggressiveness: The figure describes the scenario of FDG uptake by the diverse metabolic cancer cell subpopulations inside a proliferative tumor. Changes in pHe and lactate due to local modification (e.g. high interstitial pressure, local ischemia) may drive a continuous metabolic reprogramming limiting FDG uptake. A, FDG uptake/ metabolism; B tumor microenvironment; C microenvironmental condition and nutrients.
