    Lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA) is overexpressed in various malignancies and plays a crucial role in tumor metabolism and progression.

  • 2

    LDHA modulates the differentiation and function of tumor-infiltrating immune cells, influencing anti-tumor immune responses.

  • 3

    The review highlights the need to understand LDHA's role in immune cells, which is often overlooked in studies focused on tumor cells.

  • 4

    LDHA's metabolic effects on immune cells can lead to either pro-inflammatory or immunosuppressive phenotypes, depending on the tumor microenvironment.

  • 5

    Targeting LDHA may enhance the efficacy of immunotherapies, suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target in cancer treatment.
