My first ‘single author paper’, “Central Regulation of Breast Cancer Growth & Metastasis” was just published in the Journal of Cancer Metastasis and Treatment. This was very exciting to put together as it was another excuse to write a lot about a topic that I love. In this review, I present some of the exciting research that aims to uncover how the brain interacts with the body to facilitate cancer growth.
Examples of neural circuits that play an important role in cancer-associated systemic disruption (e.g., circadian rhythm and sleep abnormalities, systemic inflammation, and anorexia/cachexia).
