Cancer cells exploit fat to spread through the body, study shows

Researchers discovered that tumors create fatty environments that fuel their spread to distant organs—a finding that could reshape how the pharma industry designs cancer drugs. The discovery targets a specific molecular pathway, potentially opening doors to new treatments that block metastasis before it takes hold.
