Correlates and predictors of sarcopenia among men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer.

Sarcopenia is a predictor of clinical outcomes in men with metastatic castrate-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC); however, correlates and predictors of sarcopenia are poorly understood in this population. The aim of this study was to examine correlates and predictors of sarcopenia...

Assessing cachexia in obesity: contradiction or perfectly possible?

Existing definitions of clinically important weight loss in patients with cancer do not specifically address weight loss in patients who are obese at presentation. This review explores the clinical impact of weight loss and depletion of the skeletal muscle mass...

Validity of dietary intake methods in cancer cachexia.

Accurate assessment of dietary intake, especially energy and protein intake, is crucial for optimizing nutritional care and outcomes in patients with cancer. Validation of dietary assessment methods is necessary to ensure accuracy, but the validity of these methods in patients...

Circulating adipose-tissue miRNAs in gastrointestinal cancer patients and their association with the level and type of adiposity at body composition analysis.

Adipose tissue (AT) wasting in cancer is an early catabolic event with negative impact on outcomes. Circulating miRNAs may promote body weight loss and cachexia. We measured circulating miRNAs linked to AT alterations and compared their levels between i) gastrointestinal...

Skeletal Muscle Proteome Modifications following Antibiotic-Induced Microbial Disturbances in Cancer Cachexia.

Cancer cachexia is an involuntary loss of body weight, mostly of skeletal muscle. Previous research favors the existence of a microbiota-muscle crosstalk, so the aim of the study was to evaluate the impact of microbiota alterations induced by antibiotics on...

Survey on the knowledge and practices in anorexia of aging diagnosis and management in Japan.

Anorexia of aging (AA) is a condition in older adults that includes loss of appetite and reduced food intake. There is a lack of detailed analysis of the potential influence of educational initiatives in addressing AA. This study aimed to...

Targeted nutritional intervention attenuates experimental lung cancer cachexia.

Cachexia, a syndrome with high prevalence in non-small cell lung cancer patients, impairs quality of life and reduces tolerance and responsiveness to cancer therapy resulting in decreased survival. Optimal nutritional care is pivotal in the treatment of cachexia and a...

KLF10: a point of convergence in cancer cachexia.

Cancer-associated cachexia is a wasting syndrome entailing loss in body mass and a shortened life expectancy. There is currently no effective treatment to abrogate this syndrome, which leads to 20-30% of deaths in patients with cancer. While there have been...

Adipokines and Myokines as Markers of Malnutrition and Sarcopenia in Patients Receiving Kidney Replacement Therapy: An Observational, Cross-Sectional Study.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is linked to an elevated risk of malnutrition and sarcopenia, contributing to the intricate network of CKD-related metabolic disorders. Adipokines and myokines are markers and effectors of sarcopenia and nutritional status. The aim of this study...

Effect of resistance training on physical function during chemotherapy in colon cancer.

The decline of physical function during chemotherapy predicts poor quality of life and premature death. It is unknown if resistance training prevents physical function decline during chemotherapy in colon cancer survivors. This multicenter trial randomly assigned 181 colon cancer survivors...

Preventing loss of sirt1 lowers mitochondrial oxidative stress and preserves C2C12 myotube diameter in an inย vitro model of cancer cachexia.

Cancer cachexia is a multifactorial syndrome associated with advanced cancer that contributes to mortality. Cachexia is characterized by loss of body weight and muscle atrophy. Increased skeletal muscle mitochondrial reactive oxygen species (ROS) is a contributing factor to loss of...

The crosstalk between macrophages and cancer cells potentiates pancreatic cancer cachexia.

With limited treatment options, cachexia remains a major challenge for patients with cancer. Characterizing the interplay between tumor cells and the immune microenvironment may help identify potential therapeutic targets for cancer cachexia. Herein, we investigate the critical role of macrophages...
