- W1993163003 abstract "Cancer anorexia/cachexia is a major clinical problem, especially in advanced cancer patients. Its pathogenesis is quite complex. Anorexia plays a central role, but cancer cachexia is more complex than pure chronic starvation. One of the key differences is the preferential mobilization of fat and the sparing of skeletal muscle in simple starvation compared with an equal mobilization of fat and skeletal muscle in cancer patients. An increase in basal energy expenditures seems to play a contributory role in many patients. Cytokines, essentially but not exclusively tumor necrosis factor α, play an essential role, and the syndrome can be compared with a low-grade chronic inflammatory state. As it is in most fields in medicine, prevention is more efficacious than treatment, and, to avoid the final and dramatic stages of cancer cachexia, adequate nutritional advice and support must be provided sufficiently early. Parenteral nutrition could facilitate the administration of complete doses of chemotherapy or radiotherapy, but no significant survival benefit or decrease in treatment-induced toxicity have ever been demonstrated in prospective randomized trials. The gut should always be used if at all possible. Percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy is used increasingly in patients who cannot eat but who have functionally intact gastrointestinal tracts, especially in patients with head and neck cancer. Eight randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies have demonstrated that progestational drugs can somewhat stimulate appetite, food intake, and energy level; increase weight in many patients; and often decrease nausea and vomiting severity; however, pharmacologic treatment of cancer cachexia remains disappointing, and more trials with anticytokine drugs should be conducted." @default.
