Approximately 80% of patients with advanced-stage cancer have cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome (CACS), in which one of the main manifestations is malnutrition [1]. CACS is characterised by anorexia, decreased food intake, tissue wasting, and body weight loss. It is also associated with changes in lipid, protein, and carbohydrate metabolism, leading to a decrease in fat and muscle mass, which independently influence mortality in cancer patients [2] [5]. Anorexia and reduced food intake occur during growth of the tumour, thus compromising host defences which, in turn, detrimentally influences outcome [1]. Reduced food intake and malabsorption reduce energy intake, even though energy expenditure is increased [6] [8]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
