科学家确定癌症如何扰乱脑力沟通,导致与许多癌症死亡有关的严重体重减退。
Scientists identify how cancer disrupts brain-liver communication, causing severe weight loss linked to many cancer deaths.
研究人员发现,癌症患者严重减重,称为缓冲症,是癌症细胞扰乱大脑和肝脏之间沟通造成的。
Researchers have found that severe weight loss in cancer patients, known as cachexia, is caused by cancer cells disrupting communication between the brain and liver.
科学家认为,通过阻止这种中断的通讯,他们可以防止与近三分之一的癌症死亡有关的缓冲症。
By blocking this disrupted communication, scientists believe they can prevent cachexia, which is linked to nearly a third of cancer deaths.
在科学期刊上发表的研究结果表明,新的治疗方法可以改善癌症患者的生活质量和存活率。
The findings, published in scientific journals, suggest new therapies could improve the quality of life and survival rates for cancer patients.
