Expression of lactate transporters is associated with a worse prognosis in patients with melanoma

In the context of the metabolic reprogramming of tumor cells, in which an increase in glucose consumption and lactate production is observed, several proteins have its expression increased, including glucose transporters such as GLUT1 and lactate transporters, known as monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs).
