Cachexia is a prevalent phenomenon of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) which is responsible for increased mortality and deterioration of physical performance. Preclinical research indicates that systemic inflammation induces cachexia-related muscle wasting through muscular Nuclear Factor-kappa B (NF-kappa B) signaling and subsequent ubiquitin proteasome system (UPS)-mediated proteolysis. As these pathways could be a target for early intervention strategies, it needs to be elucidated whether increased activation of these pathways is already present in early stage NSCLC cachexia. The aim of the present study was therefore to assess muscular NF-kappa B and UPS activation in patients with NSCLC pre-cachexia. Sixteen patients with newly diagnosed stages I-Ill NSCLC having
