This preliminary project aims to evaluate associations between cancer cachexia, psychosocial factors and cytokine levels in blood. The final decline of most patients with advanced cancer is associated with the cancer cachexia syndrome, triggered in part by cytokine release. Measuring cytokines may enable identification of patients about to enter this final stage. Further, factors like mood and social support appear to alter cytokine levels. The associations established by this study may point to treatment options that can delay the terminal phase while improving quality of life.

该初步项目旨在评估癌症恶病质、心理社会因素和血液中细胞因子水平之间的关联。大多数晚期癌症患者的最终衰退与癌症恶病质综合征有关，部分由细胞因子释放引发。测量细胞因子可以识别即将进入最后阶段的患者。此外，情绪和社会支持等因素似乎会改变细胞因子水平。这项研究建立的关联可能表明可以延迟终末期同时提高生活质量的治疗方案。
