Blocking Vagal Activity to Prevent Cancer-associated Cachexia

Major Finding: Blocking vagal hyperactivity in lung and pancreatic cancer restores liver function, improves cachexia features, and extends survival in preclinical models.Concept: Cancer-induced systemic inflammation drives vagal overactivity, suppressing hepatic HNF4α and promoting cachexia.Impact: Targeted vagal modulation offers a neurometabolic therapeutic avenue to slow cachexia progression and improve cancer survival.
