Belgian researchers from the Flanders Institute of Biotechnology and the Catholic University of Leuven have made an important scientific discovery that paves the way for developing new treatments for liver cancer. Their results showed that cancer cells spread throughout the liver exploit a nutrient called "palmitic acid" to inhibit the activity of immune cells known as "neutrophils," preventing them from attacking the tumor and limiting its spread. Through laboratory experiments, scientists were able to block this negative effect, restoring immune activity and enabling it to destroy the cancer cells. This represents a significant step toward more effective and widespread treatment for one of the most challenging cancers globally. Further research and clinical trials are needed before this can become a therapy available to patients.
