Concurrent PIK3CA mutant drives cachexia through inflammatory signaling in EGFR mutant lung cancer

Amy C. Moore, Vice President of Global Engagement and Patient Partnerships at LUNGevity Foundation, shared an article by Meiting Yue on LinkedIn:

“One of my ongoing frustrations as part of my participation in Cancer Grand Challenges Team CANCAN‘s work to uncover the causes of cancer cachexia has been the limitation of existing animal models that don’t reflect the realities of the patient population.

For example, we have been limited to a KRAS G12D driven lung cancer model. And while KRAS is a major driver of LC, I have been calling for additional models that reflect the diversity of the patient population.

This paper helps address that.

Thanks for sharing, Marcus Goncalves.”
