Скачать или смотреть Prof Muscaritoli on best practice in the treatment of cachexia

What is the best practice approach in treating patients with cachexia? Prof. Maurizio Muscaritoli discusses a multi-modal approach.

Video transcript: The very best intervention is recognition. Recognition of weight loss. Early recognition of the presence of cachexia. Early intervention with nutritional support. Exercise. Specific nutrients which may play a role in the modulation of inflammation. Some drugs.

In a word - a multi-model approach to cancer cachexia, not only for the correction of cancer cachexia but also for the prevention of cancer cachexia.

We know that cachexia represents a spectrum of conditions ranging from normality to pre-cachexia to cachexia to refractoric cachexia which is the phase where nutritional metabolic interventions are most un-likely to be effective for these patients.

So we should focus on patients with pre-cachexia and cachexia where we may obtain the best results in terms of prevention and treatment - and this is extremely important related to the data of the Premio study.

We know that we should start early with recognition, prevention and treatment.
