Summary

Palmitic acid, a saturated fat concentrated in meat and dairy, can boost the metastatic potential of cancer cells through the fat receptor CD36. Randomized controlled trials show that lowering saturated fat intake can lead to improved breast cancer survival.

A type of saturated fat concentrated meat and dairy seems to cause cancer to metastasize.

0:14.0

Metastasis formation is the leading cause of death in cancer patients.

0:22.6

That's how most people die of cancer.

0:24.6

It's not the primary tumor, but the cancer spreading through the body.

0:30.6

It's estimated that metastasis is responsible for 90 percent of cancer deaths,

0:35.6

with little progress made in stopping the spread despite our modern

0:39.8

medical armamentarium.

0:41.6

In fact, we can sometimes make it worse.

0:45.1

Therapy-induced metastasis.

0:48.4

All the typical cancer treatments, radiation, chemotherapy, surgery, even just poking the tumors with fine needle biopsies

0:56.5

have the potential to contribute to the problem.

0:59.8

I mean, you can imagine how cutting around a tumor severing the blood vessels might lead

1:04.8

to the migration of residual tumor cells, but why chemotherapy?

1:10.0

How might chemo exacerbate metastases?

1:14.0

Despite reducing the size of primary tumors, chemotherapy can change the surrounding tissues,

1:20.1

resulting in an increased escape of cancer cells into the bloodstream.

1:24.8

Sometimes chemo-surgery radiation are entirely justified, but sometimes

1:29.7

these treatments can make things worse. If only we had a way to treat the cause of the cancer

1:36.1

spreading. The development of antimetastatic therapies has been hampered by the fact that we haven't

1:41.9

been able to identify the cells that initiate metastasis,

1:45.4

but then this landmark study was published.
