Impact of Socioeconomic Status on Pretreatment Weight Loss and Survival in Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Pretreatment cancer-associated weight loss is common in patients with NSCLC, and its presence is significantly associated with lower SES. However, among patients with pretreatment cancer-associated weight loss, SES was not predictive of survival. Early use of cancer cachexia-directed therapies may improve outcomes, and further study on the biologic mechanisms of cancer cachexia will provide novel therapeutic avenues.

“…Several studies have used body weight and BMI as indicators of general condition in patients receiving chemotherapy (Castillo-Martínez et al, 2018). Furthermore, pretreatment weight loss is a poor prognostic factor in lung cancer patients (Lau et al, 2018). In recent years, the concepts of cachexia, sarcopenia, and frailty have become widespread, and studies based on these concepts have been conducted in the area of cancer treatment (Jain, Coss, Whooley, & Phelps, 2020;Kidd, Skrzypski, Jamal-Hanjani, & Blyth, 2019;Kurishima, Watanabe, Ishikawa, Satoh, & Hizawa, 2017;Nakamura et al, 2018;Phillips, Hug, Allan, & Ezhil, 2019).…”

“…1 Even when cachexia is identified in early stage cancer patients, survival is not improved because of a potential lack of effective therapeutic interventions. 2 Although cachexia has been recognized for more than half a century, most preclinical studies and clinical trials targeting the immune system [tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6], appetite stimulation, and muscle regeneration have failed to durably improve the syndrome. 3 The majority of studies on cachexia have focused on the sarcopenia of this wasting syndrome, with less emphasis on adipose loss or anorexia.…”
