Cancer cachexia is defined as a multifactorial syndrome of involuntary weight loss characterized by an ongoing loss of skeletal muscle mass and progressive functional impairment. It is postulated that cardiac dysfunction/atrophy parallels skeletal muscle atrophy in cancer cachexia. Cardiotoxic chemotherapy may additionally result in cardiac dysfunction and heart failure in some cancer patients....
Cachexia-anorexia cancer syndrome remains an unmet clinical need with a dearth of treatment and no standard care. Acting through the endocannabinoid system, cannabinoids are one potential cachexia treatment. Herein mechanisms for discussed as previous ongoing trials.
Cachexia is a serious, however underestimated and underrecognised medical consequence of malignant cancer, chronic heart failure (CHF), chronic kidney disease (CKD), chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), cystic fibrosis, rheumatoid arthritis, Alzheimer's disease, infectious diseases, and many other chronic illnesses. The prevalence of cachexia is high, ranging from 5% to 15% in CHF or C...
Objectives. Estimate and compare the proportion of cancer patients with cachexia using different definitions from available clinical data. Methods. Electronic medical records were examined to estimate the proportion of cancer patients with cachexia using 4 definitions: (1) ICD-9 diagnostic code of 799.4 (cachexia), (2) ICD-9 diagnosis of cachexia, anorexia, abnormal weight loss, or feeding diff...
Weight loss is the hallmark of any progressive acute or chronic disease state. In its extreme form of significant lean body mass (including skeletal muscle) and fat loss, it is referred to as cachexia. It has been known for millennia that muscle and fat wasting leads to poor outcomes including death. On one hand, conditions and risk factors that lead to cachexia and inadequate nutrition may ind...
mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalo-myopathy (mngie) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by thymidine phosphorylase (tp) gene mutation. here we report a patient with mngie in whom sensorimotor polyneuropathy was the first presenting symptom and had a fluctuating course. this 26-year-old female patient developed acute-onset demyelinating polyneuropathy from the age of 6 with t...
PURPOSE Cancer cachexia is a devastating and understudied illness in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). The primary objective was to identify clinical characteristics and serum levels of cytokines and cachexia-related factors in patients with HNSCC. The secondary objective was to detect the occurrence of cytokine and cachexia-related factor gene expression in HNSCC tum...
BACKGROUND Progressive loss of muscle mass is a major characteristic of cancer cachexia. Consensus definitions for cachexia provide different options to measure muscle mass. This study describes the effect of different methods to determine muscle mass on the diagnosis of cancer cachexia. In addition, the association of cachexia with other features of cachexia, quality of life, and survival was ...
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. multiple par...
BACKGROUND Surveys using traditional measures of nutritional status indicate that muscle wasting is common among persons with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD). Up to 75% of adults undergoing maintenance dialysis show some evidence of muscle wasting. ESKD is associated with an increase in inflammatory cytokines and can result in cachexia, with the loss of muscle and fat stores. At present, only l...
