T cells play a critical role to defend against tumor and maintain immune homeostasis. The diverse functions of T cells require precise regulation of metabolic pathways. Recent studies reveal that metabolic changes are tightly linked to the activation and function of T cells. Given the importance of these cells in tumor progression, it is important to understand how the tumor microenvironment regulates metabolism of T cells and how the metabolic reprogramming of T cells affects tumor growth. Here, we review new findings and discuss how metabolic reprogramming of different types of T cells affects the immune response in tumors.
