Interesting stuff. This is constant with a cellular metabolic remodeling being a primary driver in cancer.

An emerging cancer paradigm is that the metabolic environment of cancer, one closely associated with hypoxia, suppresses cell death pathways and facilitates proliferation and metastasis, potentially giving some cells a survival advantage: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15516961

Nice to see more epidemiological evidence backing this up.
