<p>Breast cancer cells, melanoma cells and other types of cancer cells express the GLUT5 transporter and thus can accumulate significant amounts of fructose within the cell. GLUT5 is not expressed in normal breast cells or melanocytes, and may be differentially expressed in other tissue types. This permits the use of novel fructose-based imaging and therapeutic agents for the diagnosis and treatment of cancer.</p> |
