Rome was not built in a day. Likewise, if one considers the evolution of systemic anti-cancer treatment, it took decades to go from acceptance of any therapy at all to single agents achieving isolated tumour responses (without prolongation of survival) to the current use of combination regimens as adjuvant therapy to surgery. Such incremental progress has led to improved quality of life and eventually survival for patients with some types of cancer.Cachexia and skeletal muscle wasting in cancer are significant clinical problems of high medical need for a large proportion of cancer patients and associated with very poor quality of life and very high mortality. 1, 2 An effective treatment of a complex multifactorial syndrome such as cachexia will likely evolve from a series of steps of discovery and new interventions before a comprehensive multimodal strategy can be identified that improves patient’s quality and quantity of life. 3
