Abstract

Purpose of review: Over the past year, loss of appetite in patients with cancer has continued to be an area of active investigation. This review provides an update of recently published findings.

Recent findings: Despite the emergence of new cancer therapeutic agents, this symptom of loss of appetite continues to trouble patients, and it continues to be associated with poor survival. Recent preclinical research promises to lead to newer approaches and newer, more effective palliative agents. Recent clinical research shows that agents such as olanzapine, anamorelin, and cannabis either do or might palliate this symptom.

Summary: Loss of appetite in patients with cancer remains an important area of clinical and research focus. Recent published data provide greater clarity with respect to how to palliate this symptom. Today, although clinicians have more options to palliate cancer-associated loss of appetite than ever before, questions remain unanswered about how to palliate this symptom optimally and how to improve the quality of life of patients who suffer from it.

癌症患者食欲减退:特征、机制和姑息治疗的最新进展。

回顾目的:在过去的一年中，癌症患者的食欲减退一直是一个积极研究的领域。这篇综述提供了最近发表的研究结果的更新。最近的研究发现:尽管出现了新的癌症治疗药物，但这种食欲不振的症状仍然困扰着患者，并且仍然与生存率低有关。最近的临床前研究有望带来更新的方法和更新，更有效的姑息剂。最近的临床研究表明，奥氮平、阿纳莫瑞林和大麻等药物可以或可能减轻这种症状。摘要:癌症患者的食欲减退仍然是临床和研究的一个重要领域。最近公布的数据为如何缓解这一症状提供了更清晰的信息。今天，尽管临床医生比以往任何时候都有更多的选择来缓解癌症相关的食欲减退，但关于如何最佳地缓解这种症状以及如何改善患者的生活质量，问题仍然没有得到解答。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
