Cachexia represents the clinical consequence of a chronic, systemic inflammatory response, and its manifestations differ considerably from those of starvation. Although cachexia is classically associated with chronic infections and malignant conditions, some of its elements have been identified in a wide variety of chronic diseases and in aging persons.

Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome accounting for nearly a third of cancer deaths, characterized by weight loss, anorexia, weakness, anaemia and asthenia. The complications associated with the appearance of the cachectic syndrome affect both the physiological and biochemical balance of the patient, and have effects on the efficiency of the ...

Cancer cachexia has been listed as a major cause of death in cancer patients. In order to investigate the metabolic effects of the tumor on the host, we have evaluated an experimental model of cancer cachexia in the mouse (MAC16 colon adenocarcinoma), in which weight loss can reach 30-40% of initial weight with a tumor burden of only 2.5%, without a ...

Cancer cachexia is a complex, multifactorial syndrome that results from a reduction in food intake, a variety of metabolic abnormalities (including hypermetabolism) or more often a combination of the two. Multiple mediator pathways including pro-inflammatory cytokines, neuroendocrine hormones and tumour-specific factors are involved. Therapy requires a

Cancer, 1979
Cancer cachexia is characterized clinically by anorexia, early satiety, weight loss. anemia, and marked asthenia. The syndrome is not the result of semistarvation alone but it represents a complex metabolic problem. In the host there are abnormalities in metabolism of energy, carbohydrate, lipid and protein, in water content, in acid-base balance, in ...

Nutrition, 1997
Prolonged production of cytokines associated with cancer and chronic infections, and other long-term immune reactions is increasingly recognized as a main causal factor of the often severe signs and symptoms that accompany these diseases: weight loss, anorexia, and metabolic breakdown termed cachexia.

Cachexia is a common cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with advanced cancer. It is characterised by numerous metabolic abnormalities including inefficient substrate utilisation, alterations in the balance of energy intake and expenditure and the acute-phase protein response.

Weight loss is a frequent complication in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is a determining factor of functional capacity, health status, and mortality. Weight loss in COPD is a consequence of increased energy requirements unbalanced by dietary intake.

Critical Reviews in Oncology/Hematology, 1987
Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome that includes host tissue wasting, anorexia, asthenia, and abnormal host intermediary metabolism. It is present in approximately 50% of cancer patients during treatment and nearly 100% of treated cancer patients at death. Cachexia has a detrimental impact on cancer therapy. The central problem of cancer cachexia is

The Syndrome of Cardiac Cachexia
International Journal of Cardiology, 2001Cachexia, i.e. body wasting, has long been recognised as a serious complication of chronic illness. The occurrence of wasting in chronic heart failure (CHF) has been known for many centuries, but it has not been investigated extensively until recently.
