Glucose is a fundamental energy source and its metabolism is essential for all cells, the reprogramming of glucose metabolism in cancer cells underlies many aspects of tumor growth and survival.

-HIF-1 increases the expression of glycolytic enzymes
-Hexokinase II, which catalyzes the first step of glycolysis (often upregulated).
