Abstract

Within the tumor microenvironment, cancer cells are often exposed to oxygen and nutrient deficiency, leading to various changes in their lipid composition and metabolism. These alterations have important therapeutic implications as they affect the cancer cells' survival, membrane dynamics, and therapy response. This chapter provides an overview of recent insights into the regulation of lipid metabolism in cancer cells under metabolic stress. We discuss how this metabolic adaptation helps cancer cells thrive in a harsh tumor microenvironment.
