Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome. Its defining feature is involuntary weight loss, which arises, in part, because of muscle atrophy and is accompanied by functional decline. International expert consensus recommends that nutritional support and counselling is a component of multimodal therapy for cancer cachexia, as poor nutritional intake can contribute to progression of the syndrome. The...
The mechanism by which cord factor (CF), a toxic glycolipid from mycobacteria, induces cachexia was studied in BALB/c mice. Body weight was markedly reduced 48 h after CF administration; the animals became severely wasted and exhibited hypertriglyceridemia, hypoglycemia, and high levels of tumor necrosis factor (TNF) in plasma. After CF administration, a transferable factor which caused cachexi...
Cardiac cachexia, a syndrome characterized by systemic destruction, nutritional impairment and weight loss [1], has a prevalence ranging between 8 and 42% around the world [2]. The syndrome was first described by the father of medicine, Hippocrates, as follows: “the flesh is consumed and becomes water; shoulders, clavicles, chest and thighs melt away. The illness is fatal” [3]. Currently the mo...
Cachexia is a syndrome associated with cancer, characterized by body weight loss, muscle and adipose tissue wasting, and inflammation, being often associated with anorexia. In spite of the fact that muscle tissue represents more than 40% of body weight and seems to be the main tissue involved in the wasting that occurs during cachexia, recent developments suggest that tissues/organs such as adi...
Abstract Introduction Cancer cachexia is associated with poor surgical outcomes, including increased length of stay, morbidity and mortality. Cachexia a complex multi-faceted pathological process consistently energy imbalance via hypermetabolism. Beyond this, pre-clinical animal models suggest mitochondrial dysfunction to be an important component cachexia, although this unconfirmed in humans. ...
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients have the highest risk of developing cachexia, which is a direct cause of reduced quality of life and shorter survival. Novel biomarkers to identify patients at risk of cachexia are needed and might have a substantial impact on clinical management. Here we investigated the prognostic value and association of SELP-rs6136, IL6-rs1800796 and AKT1-rs1...
Cachexia is a distinctive feature of colorectal cancer associated with body weight loss and progressive muscle wasting. Several mechanisms responsible for muscle and fat wasting have been identified, however it is not known whether the physiologic and molecular crosstalk between muscle and bone tissue may also contribute to the cachectic phenotype in cancer patients. The purpose of this study w...
BACKGROUND Cancer cachexia (cancer-induced muscle wasting) is found in a subgroup of cancer patients leaving the patients with a poor prognosis for survival due to a lower tolerance of the chemotherapeutic drug. The cause of the muscle wasting in these patients is not fully understood, and no predictive biomarker exists to identify these patients early on. Skeletal muscle loss is an inevitable ...
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to provide evidence-based results on differences in overall survival (OS) rate to guide the diagnosis of cancer cachexia. DESIGN Data collection and clinical assessment was performed every 3 months (5 visits): baseline data, muscle strength, nutritional and psychosocial status. 2 definitions on cachexia using different diagnostic criteria were applied for the same p...
Rheumatoid cachexia is under-recognized in clinical practice. The loss of lean body tissue, which characterizes cachexia, is often compensated for by gain in body fat-so called 'cachectic obesity'-so that 85% or more RA patients have a normal BMI. Severe cachexia with loss of weight leads to increased morbidity and premature mortality but loss of muscle bulk with a normal BMI also associates wi...
