The cancer anorexia-cachexia syndrome.
Abstract
PURPOSE: To review the research related to the anorexia-cachexia syndrome in patients with cancer, with attention to the etiology and symptomatic treatment. DESIGN: A comprehensive literature review using MEDLINE. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The anorexia-cachexia syndrome is a common problem in advanced cancer. Although many possible etiologies have been investigated, the cause has not been determined. Appropriate clinical evaluation is necessary to identify those patients who may respond to available, symptomatic treatments.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
