![]() This phenomenon is called the Warburg effect. ![]() While normal cells sometimes use only glycolysis too, this occurs only when there isn’t enough oxygen.Ĭancer cells, on the other hand, use only glycolysis even when oxygen is present. In 1931, Otto Heinrich Warburg won a Nobel Prize for discovering that cancer cells use only glycolysis to produce energy. To produce energy, normal cells typically go through a process that starts with glycolysis (the breaking down of glucose, or sugar) and ends with oxidative phosphorylation. What’s the link between cancer and oxygen? ![]()
