Pitfalls in defining and quantifying cachexia
نویسنده
چکیده
Cancer-related symptoms such cachexia and pain are subjects of a proliferation of assessment tools, diagnostic criteria, and systems for staging, which are notably disparate, and lack agreement on the variables to be measured. Teams of experts have worked diligently to develop consensus definitions of the terms cachexia and cancer cachexia, and these efforts provide the basis to develop agreement upon the measurements and tools that are applicable to the diagnosis and staging of cancer cachexia.

Abstract Intraabdominal schwannomas are rare tumors that may arise from viscera or abdominal wall. The rarity accompanied by occurrence in odds places may make their diagnosis difficult and delayed. We present a case of distal paraesophageal schwannoma with long-term cachexia. A34-year-old man presented with long-lasting vomiting, dysphagia, and progressive cachexia for four years. Multip...
متن کاملThe effect of a period of resistance training on the muscle proteasome activity and autophgy flux in mice with cancer induce cachexia
Introdution: Muscle weakness that is caused by cancer called Cachexia. One of the causes of the formation of the cachexia is the change in protein degradation, and the ubiquitous protease and Autophagy Lysosomes system is the most important protein breakdown system. Resistance training has been one the best stimulator of increasing muscular mass. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to inve...
