Answer:

Mitochondria play an important role in cancer through macromolecular synthesis and energy production. Malignant tumors selectively retain mitochondrial genome and ETC function, whereas tumors with pathogenic mitochondrial DNA mutations are benign, indicating the importance of respiration to cancer progression.
