Breast cancer has been reported to have an increased expression of GLUT1–6 and 12 (Table 1; Barron et al., 2016), and the most important glucose transporter for glucose uptake in breast cancer is GLUT1 (Grover-McKay et al., 1998; López-Lázaro, 2008; Furuta et al., 2010; Wuest et al., 2018). This evidence concerns the gene SLC2A1 and breast carcinoma.
