The tumor ecosystem evolves with dynamic interactions between cancer and normal cells, and nutrients have emerged as new regulators of cancer hallmarks. Lactate has climbed the rankings as a multifunctional molecule orchestrating many aspects of the disease onset and progression. Here, we patchwork and discuss the main recent findings conferred during the EMBO workshop titled 'Lactate: Unconventional Roles of a Nutrient Along the Tumor Landscape.'
