**Study Reveals Link Between Lung Signals and Blood Clots in Cancer Patients**

A preclinical study from Cornell University in Ithaca, in collaboration with Weill Cornell Medicine, has shed light on the origin of blood clots in cancer patients. The research found that blood clots form in response to signals from the lungs, challenging the previous understanding that other organs were responsible.

The findings hold the potential to reshape diagnostic and treatment approaches for cancer patients prone to blood clots. Researchers suggest that these insights could lead to new tests to assess clotting risk and the development of therapies aimed at addressing the root cause of clot formation.

This advancement could pave the way for safer and more precise treatment options to prevent blood clots in cancer patients, reducing complications and improving overall care.
