Cancer cachexia is characterised by significant weight loss and muscle wasting that adversely affects patient outcomes. Nutritional interventions in cancer cachexia leads to improved outcomes, including improved weight change. However, there are wide variations in weight response to dietary interventions....

Cachexia, a severe wasting syndrome characterized by tumour-induced metabolic dysregulation, is a leading cause of death in people with cancer, yet its underlying mechanisms remain poorly understood. Here we show that a longitudinal full-body single-nuclei-resolution transcriptome analysis in a Drosophila...
This study investigated whether performing a translatable murine model of concurrent training after tumour induction affects adaptations in juvenile male and female tumour-bearing mice. Male and female Balb/c mice were injected bilaterally with colon-26 adenocarcinoma (C26) cells or PBS at...
Cancer cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome characterised by body weight loss, muscle and adipose tissue wasting, affects cancer patients. Over time, the definition of cachexia has been modified, including inflammation as one of the main causal factors. Evidences have suggested that...

The survival rate for children and adolescents has increased to over 85%. However, there is limited understanding of the impact of pediatric cancers on muscle development and physiology. Given that brain tumors alone account for 26% of all pediatric cancers,...

Hypothalamic inflammation plays a pivotal role in appetite dysregulation across various pathological conditions, including cancer cachexia. However, delivering anti-inflammatory agents to microglia, key mediators of hypothalamic inflammation, remains challenging due to the unsurmountable blood-brain barrier (BBB). To overcome this challenge,...
Around 80% of patients with advanced cancer have cancer cachexia (CC), a serious complication for which there are currently no FDA-approved treatments. Nuciferine (NF) is the main active ingredient of lotus leaf, which has anti-inflammatory, anti-tumour and other effects. The...

Additional tools are needed to assess mortality risk among patients with cancer. Patients with chronic graft vs. host disease (cGVHD) after allogeneic haematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) represent a high-risk cancer population with mortality risk explained by cGVHD severity, but also...

Cachexia is a complex syndrome that impacts up to half of patients with cancer. Criteria systems have been developed for the purpose of diagnosing and grading cachexia severity in clinical settings. One of the most widely known is those developed...
The Global Leadership Initiative on Malnutrition (GLIM) criteria provide a framework for evaluating cachexia in cancer patients, yet variability in diagnostic application hinders its use. The aim of the present study was to examine the prevalence and prognostic value of...
Cachexia (disease-related wasting) is a complex metabolic syndrome which occurs in people with chronic illnesses, including cancer, HIV/AIDS, kidney disease, heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). People with cachexia experience unintentional weight loss, muscle loss, fatigue, loss of...

The existing diagnostic criteria for cancer cachexia do not meet clinical needs. We aimed to establish novel comprehensive evaluation scales for cachexia specific to patients with solid tumours. This study included 12โ651 patients (males: 6793 [53.7%]; females: 5858 [46.3%]; medium...

In patients receiving anti-cancer treatment, cachexia results in poorer oncological outcomes. However, there is limited understanding and no systematic review of oncological endpoints in cancer cachexia (CC) trials. This review examines oncological endpoints in CC clinical trials. An electronic literature...
