Abstract excerpt

INTRODUCTION: Cancer cachexia is a severe debilitating disorder, which causes significant morbidity and mortality. In clinical practice, cachexia is often not treated until a late stage, when therapeutic options are limited. OBJECTIVE: It is therefore of great interest to analyse early biomarkers of this syndrome. CONCLUSION: In this review article, we summarise recent biomarkers found in various body...
