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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Body composition is associated with postoperative complications in perihilar cholangiocarcinoma.

Perihilar cholangiocarcinoma (pCCA) is a malignant tumor of the hepatobiliary system which is still associated with a challenging prognosis. Postoperative complications play a crucial role in determining the overall prognosis of patients with pCCA. Changes in body composition (BC) have...

Cancer cachexia: biomarkers and the influence of age.

Cancer cachexia (Ccx) is a complex metabolic condition characterized by pronounced muscle and fat wasting, systemic inflammation, weakness and fatigue. Up to 30% of cancer patients succumb directly to Ccx, yet therapies that effectively address this perturbed metabolic state are...

Appetite and dietary intake endpoints in cancer cachexia clinical trials: Systematic Review 2 of the cachexia endpoints series.

There is no consensus on the optimal endpoint(s) in cancer cachexia trials. Endpoint variation is an obstacle when comparing interventions and their clinical value. The aim of this systematic review was to summarize and evaluate endpoints used to assess appetite...

Addressing cancer anorexia-cachexia in older patients: Potential therapeutic strategies and molecular pathways.

Cancer cachexia (CC) syndrome, a feature of cancer-associated muscle wasting, is particularly pronounced in older patients, and is characterised by decreased energy intake and upregulated skeletal muscle catabolic pathways.
