How brain–liver miscommunication drives weight loss in cancer

Recent research by Dr. Sai Vivek V shows that cancer-related cachexia-severe weight and muscle loss-is driven not just by inflammation but by brain-liver miscommunication via the vagus nerve. Tumour-induced signals reprogram liver metabolism, causing anorexia, systemic inflammation, and wasting. Early detection, combined care, and clinical trials are key to tackling this complex.
