It explores the topic from a theoretical and practical perspective and provides an overview of currently available and future treatment. The first half of the book includes coverage of pathophysiology, associated diseases, and general therapeutic aspects. The subsequent sections devoted to pharmacotherapy cover drugs in clinical use, drugs in research and development, and the final section focuses on potential future advancements.Numerous internationally recognized specialists have contributed chapters on the various aspects of cachexia to this book.

Expert editorial guidance ensures minimal repetition of information and uniform presentation.
