Muscle biopsy plays a pivotal role in cancer research by providing valuable insights into the molecular and cellular changes occurring in skeletal muscle affected by cancer. This diagnostic procedure involves the removal of a small sample of muscle tissue, which is then examined under a microscope to identify abnormalities such as tumor infiltration or muscle wasting. In cancer research, muscle biopsies help researchers understand the mechanisms underlying cancer-induced muscle wasting, known as cachexia, and its impact on patient outcomes. Additionally, these biopsies aid in the development of targeted therapies to mitigate muscle wasting and improve the quality of life for cancer patients undergoing treatment. By unraveling the intricate interactions between cancer cells and muscle tissue, muscle biopsies contribute significantly to advancing our understanding of cancer progression and developing novel therapeutic interventions.
