Discussion

This exploration reveals how cancer therapies influence cachexia, indicating potential strategies to mitigate adverse effects on health.

Cancer therapies, especially chemotherapies, can worsen cachexia through systemic inflammation and metabolic dysregulation.
Therapeutic interventions activate biological pathways that lead to reduced nutrient intake and negative energy balance.
Key organ systems like muscle, liver, and brain are affected by therapy, resulting in significant physiological impact on these areas.
Integrating physiological endpoints in clinical trials may enhance understanding of therapy efficacy while prioritizing patient well-being.
