Nervous System Drives GI Cancer: Breakthrough in Tumor Growth & Treatment

Gastrointestinal cancer research nervous system tumor growth neuropeptides CGRP RAMP1 migraine therapies colorectal cancer stomach cancer
Discover how Australian researchers at the Olivia Newton-John Cancer Research Institute found that nervous system components like CGRP and its receptor RAMP1 fuel tumor growth in gastrointestinal cancers. This breakthrough opens doors to repurposing existing migraine drugs for cancer treatment, offering kinder therapies.
Key findings include nerve fibers and tumor cells producing CGRP, and how deleting RAMP1 reduced growth. Learn about the gut's 'second brain' and its role in health.
This video covers the science behind neuropeptides, signaling in the nervous system, and promising avenues for clinical trials. Stay informed on the latest in cancer research and potential drug repurposing.
Explore the impact of this discovery on global cancer statistics, where GI cancers account for 1 in 4 cases. Perfect for viewers interested in medical advancements, oncology, and innovative treatments.
