UVM Cancer Center Trainee Spotlight – Deena Snoke, PhD
In a new publication in the Journal of Cachexia and Sarcopenia of Muscle, post-doc Deena Snoke, PhD, shares her research findings that lung cancer patients experience a 20% reduction in muscle fiber size after 2 months of conventional treatment despite no measurable changes in muscle at the whole-body or whole-tissue level.While many previous studies have reported on the profound effects of cancer and its accompanied treatment on skeletal muscle, this was the first study to examine longitudinal changes in muscle at the cellular level. Conducted in collaboration with Hibba Tul Rehman, MD, Kim L. Dittus, MD, PhD, and Michael Toth, PhD, and supported by the Microscopy Imaging Center, the new work highlights the need to target muscle loss early in the course of treatment even in patients with stable body weight and composition. Future work will use the findings from this study to inform preclinical work in model systems using a newly developed model of lung cancer related tissue wasting (manuscript under review).
