Abstract
Cancer cachexia, characterized by muscle wasting and widespread inflammation, poses a significant challenge for patients with cancer, profoundly impacting both their quality of life and treatment management. However, existing treatment modalities remain very limited, accentuating the necessity for innovative therapeutic interventions. Many recent studies demonstrated that changes in autonomic balance is a key driver of cancer cachexia. This review consolidates research findings from investigations into autonomic dysfunction across cancer cachexia, spanning animal models and patient cohorts. Moreover, we explore therapeutic strategies involving adrenergic receptor modulation through receptor blockers and agonists. Mechanisms underlying adrenergic hyperactivity in cardiac and adipose tissues, influencing tissue remodeling, are also examined. Looking ahead, we present a perspective for future research that delves into autonomic dysregulation in cancer cachexia. This comprehensive review highlights the urgency of advancing research to unveil innovative avenues for combatting cancer cachexia and improving patient well-being.
期刊介绍:
This is an international journal with broad coverage of all aspects of the autonomic nervous system in man and animals. The main areas of interest include the innervation of blood vessels and viscera, autonomic ganglia, efferent and afferent autonomic pathways, and autonomic nuclei and pathways in the central nervous system.
The Editors will consider papers that deal with any aspect of the autonomic nervous system, including structure, physiology, pharmacology, biochemistry, development, evolution, ageing, behavioural aspects, integrative role and influence on emotional and physical states of the body. Interdisciplinary studies will be encouraged. Studies dealing with human pathology will be also welcome.
