But it struck me that I'd never heard of cancer of the heart, or cancer of any skeletal muscle for that matter.
但讓我吃驚的是，我從沒聽過心臟癌這種說法，或骨骼肌癌這種東西。
And skeletal muscle constitutes 50 percent of our body, or over 50 percent of our body.
骨骼肌構(gòu)成我們身體的50%，或超過50%。
And so at first I kind of thought, "Well, maybe there's some obvious explanation why skeletal muscle doesn't get cancer -- at least not that I know of."
因此，起初我想，“嗯，也許有某種顯而易見的解釋，骨骼肌為什么不會(huì)發(fā)生癌癥，至少我沒聽說過。”
So, I looked further into it, found as many articles as I could, and it was amazing -- because it turned out that it was very rare.
所以，我進(jìn)一步調(diào)查它，我翻閱了所有能夠找到的文獻(xiàn)，結(jié)果令我吃驚——因?yàn)樗_實(shí)是非常罕見的。
Some articles even went as far as to say that skeletal muscle tissue is resistant to cancer, and furthermore, not only to cancer, but of metastases going to skeletal muscle.
一些文獻(xiàn)甚至說，骨骼肌肉組織可以抵抗癌癥，而且，不僅是癌癥，還有癌癥向骨骼肌的轉(zhuǎn)移。
And what metastases are is when the tumor -- when a piece -- breaks off and travels through the blood stream and goes to a different organ.
癌癥的轉(zhuǎn)移是指，部分癌細(xì)胞脫落，并隨著血液流動(dòng)，進(jìn)入一個(gè)不同的器官。
That's what a metastasis is. It's the part of cancer that is the most dangerous.
這就叫做轉(zhuǎn)移。這是癌癥最危險(xiǎn)的一點(diǎn)。
If cancer was localized, we could likely remove it, or somehow -- you know, it's contained.
如果癌癥是局部的，我們有可能將其移除，或以某種方式控制它。
It's very contained. But once it starts moving throughout the body, that's when it becomes deadly.
這是可以做到的。但是，一旦它開始在整個(gè)身體種轉(zhuǎn)移，結(jié)果將是致命的。
So the fact that not only did cancer not seem to originate in skeletal muscles, but cancer didn't seem to go to skeletal muscle -- there seemed to be something here.
因此，癌癥從不起源于骨骼肌，而且似乎也不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)移到骨骼肌的現(xiàn)象，預(yù)示著骨骼肌具有某種特性。
So these articles were saying, you know, "Skeletal -- metastasis to skeletal muscle -- is very rare." But it was left at that. No one seemed to be asking why.
很多研究結(jié)果表明 “癌癥轉(zhuǎn)移到骨骼肌是非常罕見的。” 但它們?cè)谶@里止步了。沒有人問為什么。
