Abstract :
Cancer anorexia-cachexia is a multifactorial condition defined by cytokine-associated wasting of protein and an ongoing loss of body weight and lean muscle mass leading to progressive functional impairment. Cisplatin and many anthracycline antibiotics widely used chemotherapy drug is associated with anorexia, markedly decrease patients quality of life. Cachexia complicates patient management, significantly increases the risk of morbidity and mortality, reduces the tolerance to antineoplastic therapies, and severely impinges on quality of life. Approximately two million people worldwide die annually solely from the consequences of cancer-related cachexia. Therefore, it is of paramount importance to develop essential Aminoacid formulation like Casasol Sachets blended with vitamin C,D & E that make every effort to prevent cachexia in cancer patients. This article reviews the current available scientific literature regarding the effect of Casasol Sachets in promoting immune function & as supportive therapy to prevent cachexia in cancer patients.
