Ask me anything about... the science of cancer-associated cachexia

Ask me anything about... the science of cancer-associated cachexia

Why does eating more not fix the severe weight loss seen in some cancer patients, and what can be done about it? In this 'Ask Me Anything' episode, Dr Hui-Ling Ou, Programme Manager for the Pancreatic Cancer and Cancer Immunology Programmes at the CRUK Cambridge Centre, speaks with researchers from the Cancer Cachexia Action Network (CANCAN): Dr Claire Connell (University of Cambridge and Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust), Dr David Lewis (CRUK Scotland Institute), and Dr Tobias Janowitz (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory). Together, they unpack what cancer-associated cachexia is, why it's so devastating for patients, and how scientists are working to understand and reverse this syndrome. The guests share how their research, spanning metabolism, imaging, immunology, and clinical studies, is bringing fresh insights and hope to a problem that affects quality of life for so many. This thought-provoking discussion shines a light on the collaborative efforts driving progress against one of cancer's most challenging complications.
