Understanding Cachexia: a major complication of cancer Pattarana Sae-Chew, Ph.D. What is Cachexia? Cachexia (Greek: Kachexi’a; Kako+e’xis) or Muscle wasting Severe, chronic, unintentional, and progressive weight loss Loss of adipose tissue and lean body mass Visceral protein preserved chronic diseases Congestive Heart Failure Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome Chronic Malaria Rheumatoid Arthritis Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease Cancer Metabolic alterations in Cachexia Anorexia: Loss of Appetite Early satiety Anemia Lypolysis Resting energy expenditure Activation of acute phase response Insulin resistance Clinical Definition In 2006, Fearon KC., et al. proposed definition for cancer cachexia Body weight loss ≥10% Nutrient intake ≤1,500 kcal/day Level of C-reactive protein ≥10mg/L Advantages Strong clinically and pathophysiologically supported Prognostically validated Based on objective criteria Clinical Definition In 2006, Fearon KC., et al. proposed definition for cancer cachexia Body weight loss ≥10% Nutrient intake ≤1,500 kcal/day Level of C-reactive protein ≥10mg/L Limitations Does not classify cachexia Difficulty in accessing calorie intake for out-pateint Cachexia vs. Starvation Starvation: depletes fat stores from adipose tissue while conserving protein from skeletal muscle Nutrition supplements for cachexia treatment Promote weight gain due to the replenishment of fat Ineffective to restore skeletal muscle protein content Public Health Significance Cancer-cachexia Debilitating & life threatening 5 millions U.S. (in Thailand???) Poor prognosis, quality of life Increase patient susceptibility No effective treatment High public health cost Personal & family suffering Cancer-cachexia incidence Laviano A., et al.
