TLDR
Recent reports indicate that lipolytically acquired FAs may provide an additional source of FAs for cancer, and current understanding of lipogenic and lipolytic pathways in cancer cell progression is focused on.

Disturbances of Lipid Metabolism in a Cancer Cell and How This Knowledge Increases Its Role in Clinical Oncology

TL;DR: This data indicates that suppression of cytokine signaling-3 inoters is a major cause of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and the target of rapamycin is likely to be a poorly understood “spatially aggregating force”.
