Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) can be a marker of immune suppression in cancer: Interplay between hematologic and solid neoplastic clones and their microenvironments

Abstract
Metabolism of neoplastic cells is shifted toward high glucose uptake and enhanced lactate production. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), which is comprised of two major subunits, LDH-A and LDH-B, reversibly catalyzes the conversion of pyruvate to lactate o
