Fig. 7

Contour plot of the percentage of glucose energy lost to tumor, p lost . p lost is indicated on the graph for studies C-E based on the probability the glucose in the bloodstream enters the tumor, p cancer , and the percentage of ATP derived by glycolysis in the tumor, X anaerobic . Study C compared cachexic cancer patients versus weight-stable cancer patients. Studies D and E compared cachexic cancer patients versus normal controls. In study E both cachexic cancer patients and normal controls were 14-15 % under their normal weight
