Controlling 'bad cholesterol' production could prevent growth of tumors, study finds

Several studies have recognized a link between obesity and cancer. Now new research further helps to understand how tumor cells grow through scavenging very low-density lipoproteins (VLDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL), commonly known as the 'bad cholesterol', and what mechanisms can be used to reduce the malignant cells' growth.
