TLDR
Cells from some tumors use an altered metabolic pattern compared with that of normal differentiated adult cells in the body, which provides substrates for cell growth and division and free energy (ATP) from enhanced glucose use.
Abstract
Cells from some tumors use an altered metabolic pattern compared with that of normal differentiated adult cells in the body. Tumor cells take up much more glucose and mainly process it through aerobic glycolysis, producing large quantities of secreted lactate with a lower use of oxidative phosphorylation that would generate more adenosine triphosphate (ATP), water, and carbon dioxide. This is the Warburg effect, which provides substrates for cell growth and division and free energy (ATP) from enhanced glucose use. This metabolic switch places the emphasis on producing intermediates for cell growth and division, and it is regulated by both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes in a number of key cancer-producing pathways. Blocking these metabolic pathways or restoring these altered pathways could lead to a new approach in cancer treatments.

Lady Doak
TL;DR: This review tries to abbreviates the interconnections between regulatory role of mitochondria in cellular metabolism and apoptosis in terms of mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mt-DNA), altered gene expression for mitochondrial complex, morphological rearrangements of mitochondrialria, post-translational regulation of mitochondrial protein and their actions and oncogenes and oncosuppressors.

Prediction of Cancer Phenotypes Through Machine Learning Approaches: From Gene Modularity to Deep Neural Networks

TL;DR: Deep Pharmacogenomic Modules (Deep-PGMs), a framework to predict drug response outcomes for tumor samples using drug features and gene expression data, is introduced and it is demonstrated that this framework outperforms traditional machine learning approaches that do not take advantage of the modular structure of geneexpression data sets.
