It’s
estimated that more than half of all cancer patients develop cachexia,
with the incidence varying depending on the type of malignancy.
Cancer cachexia is often irreversible, but a smart approach
includes a careful assessment and treatment of secondary
gastrointestinal symptoms, along with pharmacological and
nonpharmacological options.
Even in early stage cachexia, clinicians need to avoid
overaggressive nutritional support that can precipitate malabsorption
and diarrhea.
