Leptin as a surrogate immune-metabolic marker to predict impact of anti-cachectic therapy: results of a prospective randomized trial in multiple solid tumors.

Leptin is a reliable predictive and surrogate marker of the efficacy of multitargeted treatment of cancer cachexia. To the best of our knowledge, no study has assessed the predictive role of biomarkers in establishing the effectiveness of anti-cachectic treatment, which...

Body composition derangements in lung cancer patients treated with first-line pembrolizumab: A multicentre observational study.

While immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) are increasingly reshaping the therapeutic landscape of non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), only a limited proportion of patients achieve a relevant and long-lasting benefit with these treatments, calling for the identification of clinical and, ideally modifiable,...

Impact of sarcopenia and muscle strength on postoperative complication risk following pancreatic resection.

The association between sarcopenia and postoperative complications has been widely reported in patients with cancer. Yet, the lack of standardized population-specific diagnostic cut-off points and assessments of muscle strength is hampering prospective clinical utilization. Therefore, we aimed to examine the...

Impact of Cachexia and First-Line Systemic Therapy for Previously Untreated Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer: NEJ050A.

Cancer cachexia complicates advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC); however, it remains unclear how often cachexia occurs and how it affects the course of chemotherapy in patients receiving first-line systemic therapy. We conducted a multicentre, prospective observational study and enrolled...

Sarcopenic obesity in patients with head and neck cancer is predictive of critical weight loss during radiotherapy.

The impact of computed tomography-defined sarcopenia on outcomes in head and neck cancer has been well described. Sarcopenic obesity (SO) (depleted muscle mass combined with obesity) may pose a more serious risk than either condition alone. We investigated SO and...

Dose-dependent effect of megestrol acetate supplementation in cancer patients with anorexia-cachexia syndrome: A meta-analysis.

There is inconsistent evidence relating to the effects of megestrol acetate (MA) supplementation on cancer patients suffering from anorexia-cachexia syndrome. This review aimed to examine the dose-response effect of MA supplementation in patients with cancer-associated anorexia/cachexia. Relevant keywords were searched...

Effects of exercise or metformin on myokine concentrations in patients with breast and colorectal cancer: A phase II multi-centre factorial randomized trial.

Physical activity and metformin pharmacotherapy are associated with improved clinical outcomes in breast and colorectal cancer survivors. Myokines are cytokines secreted from skeletal muscle that may mediate these associations. This hypothesis-generating analysis used biospecimens collected from a multi-centre 2ย ร—ย 2 factorial...

Exploring the optimal indicator of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics to predict cancer survival: A multicentre cohort study.

Body weight and its changes have been associated with cancer outcomes. However, the associations of short-term peridiagnosis weight dynamics in standardized, clinically operational time frames with cancer survival remain largely unknown. This study aimed to screen for and evaluate the...

Co-morbid sarcopenia and low bone mineral density in young paediatric cancer survivors.

Sarcopenia and low areal bone mineral density (aBMD) are prevalent musculoskeletal complications after paediatric cancer treatment. However, their relationship has not been examined in young paediatric cancers survivors. This study aimed to evaluate aBMD differences according to sarcopenia status and...

Sarcopenia is independently associated with poor preoperative physical fitness in patients undergoing colorectal cancer surgery.

Accurate preoperative risk assessment for major colorectal cancer (CRC) surgery remains challenging. Body composition (BC) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) can be used to evaluate risk. The relationship between BC and CPET in patients undergoing curative CRC surgery is unclear....

Body weight and composition endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 4 of the cachexia endpoints series.

Significant variation exists in the outcomes used in cancer cachexia trials, including measures of body composition, which are often selected as primary or secondary endpoints. To date, there has been no review of the most commonly selected measures or their...

IL36G-producing neutrophil-like monocytes promote cachexia in cancer.

Most patients with advanced cancer develop cachexia, a multifactorial syndrome characterized by progressive skeletal muscle wasting. Despite its catastrophic impact on survival, the critical mediators responsible for cancer cachexia development remain poorly defined. Here, we show that a distinct subset...
