Cancer cells are very diverse but mostly share a common metabolic property: they strongly glycolytic even though oxygen is available. Herein, the abnormalities of cancer interpreted as modifications electric currents in redox reactions. A lower current electron transport chain, an increase concentration reduced cofactors and partial reversal tricarboxylic acid cycle physical characteristics several forms cancer. The existence short-circuits between oxidative branches reductive network argue favor electronic approach nanoscopic scale. These changes flows induce pseudo-hypoxia Warburg effect through succinate production divert electrons from to biosynthetic pathways. This new look at may have potential therapeutic applications.
