Overview
Explore a 13-minute lecture on cachexia, focusing on muscle loss caused by cancer and chemotherapy. Delivered by Kathleen Wilkie from Toronto Metropolitan University, this talk is part of the "Mathematical Modelling of Cancer Treatments, Resistance, Optimization" series at the Fields Institute. Gain insights into the complex relationship between cancer, its treatments, and their impact on muscle mass. Learn about the latest research and mathematical models used to understand and potentially mitigate cachexia in cancer patients. This lecture is a component of the broader Thematic Program on Mathematical Oncology, offering a unique perspective on the intersection of mathematics and cancer research.
