Further studies are needed to assess the utility of MCT inhibition as a treatment strategy for mutant IDH1 gliomas, but considering that the effectiveness of MCT inhibitors has been linked to MCT expression [78], inhibition of MCT expression and/or function likely would not provide a therapeutic opportunity for mutant IDH1 gliomas and this point should be considered in the planning of treatment for mutant IDH1 glioma patients. Here, SLC16A1 is linked to central nervous system cancer.
