Abstract

In a recent article published in Cancer Cell, Cantelmo et al. showed that inhibition of endothelium glycolysis by targeting 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-biphosphatase 3 (PFKFB3) significantly impaired tumor metastasis by normalizing tumor vessels. In addition, as a promising therapeutic strategy, tumor vessel normalization by PFKFB3 blockade also improved the delivery and efficacy of chemotherapy.
