ABSTRACT: Cancer Cachexia afflicts 50 - 80 percent of cancer patients with roughly 20 percent of all cancer
patients dying of cachexia. Metabolomics is the study of different metabolites,
their location in the body, and the timing of their appearance and disappearance. As a result, this
science of Metabolomics can be applied to solve the problem of Cancer Cachexia.
In this review, I examine recent studies on metabolism that use Metabolomics as
their instrument of discovery. Further, this review details potential
therapeutic interventions at the cellular, animal, and human level that show
promise for attenuating Cancer Cachexia.
