Fatty acid (FA) metabolism, including the uptake, de novo synthesis and oxidation of FAs, is critical for the survival, proliferation, differentiation and metastasis of cancer cells. Several bodies of evidence have confirmed the metabolic reprogramming of FAs that occurs during cancer development. The present review aimed to evaluate FAs in terms of how the hallmarks of cancer are gradually established in tumourigenesis and tumour progression, and consider the auxo‑action and exact mechanisms of FA metabolism in these processes. In addition, this interaction in the tumour microenvironment was also discussed. Based on the role of FA metabolism in tumour development, targeting FA metabolism may effectively target cancer, affecting a number of important characteristics of cancer progression and survival.
