Pramesh CS, Director of the Tata Memorial Hospital, shared a post by National Institutes of Health (NIH) on X, adding:
“This is a masterclass from NIH on how to report (and not hype) results of research you’ve done:
- Make it clear early that the results were in mice, not humans
- Make it clear that more research is needed to validate these results
- Make it clear that this only has potential to change practice, and not claim it as a major clinical breakthrough.”
Quotig NIH:
“Some people with lung cancer develop cachexia, a condition that causes severe weight loss, muscle loss, weakness, and fatigue. NIH-funded researchers found that in mice, a high-fat diet strengthened nerve signals between certain lung tumors and the brain, making cachexia worse. More research is needed to determine whether these findings apply to people, but the results may help guide future nutrition interventions for cancer care.”
