癌細胞從原位轉移到另一器官，亦即是Metastasis，是癌病患者主要的死因。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4AmbbdB7C8

「有趣的是」，癌細胞雖近乎不會轉移到肌肉位置裡頭，但卻能從遠處釋放物質，經由血管抵達肌肉位置，催使肌肉萎縮，亦即是癌症惡病質(cancer cachexia)。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXyE1RmciUe

(圖2)肌肉萎縮不但之令病人變得虛弱，難以接近正常劑量的化療，更為致命的是，當心臟肌肉及橫隔膜肌肉亦遭受到萎縮的時候，病人便會因呼吸困難等問題而逝死。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX00QR508Eb

早在1858年已有科學家指出cancer cachexia的存在，但至今2021年仍是沒有FDA認可藥物治療cancer cachexia。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg9o6OrbR5S

(圖3)現時有不少臨床研究希望可以制衡cancer cachexia，普遍均是從營養方面入手。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7V7hmalTYj

但結果大多數是只能夠增加病人的脂肪組織，而沒能夠填補已萎縮的肌肉。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡheoZZChBs8

有一點值得注意的是，肌肉細胞並非是死去，純粹是其分解蛋白質的進程比生產蛋白質的進程來得更快，因而形成萎縮。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkoxbQzYcD

(圖4)從研究Cancer cachexia的老鼠模型中可以看到，患癌的老鼠不但更為細小，其手腕的握力度亦有所下降。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpGWC9CAHHz

觀察肌肉細胞橫切面的面積時，亦可以看到肌肉細胞的面積明顯有所縮細。521Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡszVAKG7C8i
