  "textContent": "New research from the University of Oklahoma, published today in Cancer Cell, describes for the first time a \"triangle regulation theory\" of cancer-induced cachexia and anorexia. Cachexia is a muscle-wasting and fat-loss condition that most often occurs in people diagnosed with pancreatic cancer. Cachexia is frequently accompanied by cancer-induced anorexia, a severe loss of appetite that adds to the patient's debilitation.",
