Cancer: The Tumor-Driven Disease of the Host

Cell Metab. 2018 Jul 3;28(1):5-6. doi: 10.1016/j.cmet.2018.06.016.

Abstract

Tumors interact reciprocally with their hosts' physiology and metabolism, making cancer a systemic disease. In this issue of Cell Metabolism, Borniger et al. (2018) demonstrate this phenomenon by linking the endocrine control of food intake with sleep behavior and liver metabolism in a mouse model of non-metastatic breast carcinoma.
