Detecting the frightening relationship between belly fat and cancer

Irish scientists have discovered a frightening way that fat can cause the body to "fall" against cancer.

The research team from Trinity College Dublin, a member school of Dublin University (Ireland) has discovered that an important cell type of the body that helps destroy cancer tissue can be disabled by excess fat in body .

More specifically, the body's fighters help us fight cancer that inadvertently absorbs these fats, then " obesity " and enemies - - quickly seize the opportunity to develop, thereby gradually destroying patients.

Professor Lydia Lynch, the head of the study, said the finding helped them navigate a new approach to cancer treatment. They are developing a compound that helps prevent the fat absorption of these cancer defense cells, helping them gradually get out of their state, blocked by fat and can stand up to fight again.

This method is in line with the new trend that cancer researchers are looking for: Our body has a potential to fight cancer itself; instead of directly destroying the tumor, it acts as a hormone to release and increase the strength of natural defense products, so that the patient's body can repel the disease itself. This treatment is considered to be sustainable, with fewer side effects than older methods.

The new finding, published in the journal Nature Immunology, is consistent with previous large-scale research by Cancer Research UK , Britain's national cancer research organization.

Cancer Research UK claims that obesity is inferior to tobacco and has become the leading cause, involving 12 deadly cancers: stomach, mouth-throat, liver, ovary, intestine, gallbladder, kidney , esophagus, pancreas, uterus, breast, prostate.
