“…In addition, it has been suggested that malignancy anywhere in the body may be associatcd with secondary changes in the small intcstine, leading to hypoplasia or flattening of the mucosa and a subscquent malabsorption [27,28]. A significant protein losing enteropathy follows secondary disorders of the GI lymphatic channcls or ulceration of a region of the mucosa [29,30]. However, such changes may be the effect, rather than the cause, of cachexia [31].…”

Protein-energy malnutrition (PEM) is common in cancer patients and may develop into the syndrome known as 'cancer cachexia'. This is characterised by complex disturbances in carbohydrate, lipid, protein, and electrolyte metabolism. The aetiology is equally complex, with host and therapeutic factors contributing to the reduced food intake and effects on host tissues. Anorexia is of prime importance, differing in its cause from one patient to another and often presenting a barrier to successful nutritional support. Further research is necessary to elucidate the interaction of central and peripheral factors that may be involved in the aetiology of anorexia. Because of the interplay of biochemical, physiological, and psychological consequences of cancer, the nutritional support of the patient presents a considerable challenge to the caring professions.

“…At postmortem the figures were 70% and 34% respectively. Ehrlich et al (1968) who studied 323 autopsy cases of malignant lymphoma, also found approximately 55% had tumours in the gastrointestinal tract. However, only 7% had tumour in the colon (10% for NHL, 3% for Hodgkin's disease).…”

“…Autopsy series of patients with various neoplasms (lung, melanoma, and lymphoma) have shown secondary metastatic depositis in extrahepatic ducts in approximately 1%-2% of cases [34][35][36]. Obstructive jaundice may also be caused by many different neoplasms metastatic to the biliary system: lung [34], breast [37], colon [38,39], testicle [40], prostate [41], melanoma [42], pancreas [43,44] and gallbladder [39].…”
