Welcome Cachexia is the unintentional weight loss caused by tumors. Cachexia includes symptoms of low appetite (anorexia), weakness, tiredness/fatigue, weight loss, fat and muscle loss. These symptoms result from tumor-induced changes in metabolism and inflammation. Cachexia contributes to poor outcomes in cancer including reduced response to therapy. Currently there are few approved treatments for cancer cachexia, but the outlook for interventions in cancer cachexia is improving with growth of research and clinical testing.
