Increase in Prevalence of Cachexia
Cachexia is a multifunctional disease that causes extreme weight loss, skeletal muscle and adipose tissue loss, metabolic regulation imbalance, and food intake reduction. It is a serious clinical consequence of almost all chronic diseases when reaching advanced stages. According to NCBI (National Center for Biotechnology Information), in 2016, cachexia prevalence ranged from 5 to 15% in end-stage chronic heart failure. It is frequently occurring in patients suffering from chronic kidney disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) , neurological disease, and rheumatoid arthritis. Mortality rates of cachexia patients range from 15 to 25% per year in patients with severe COPD and from 20 to 40% per year in patients with chronic heart failure or chronic kidney disease.
Cancer cachexia negatively affects the quality of life of cancer patients and reduces the effectiveness of anticancer chemotherapy and increases its toxicity, leading to growth in cancer-related mortality and medical resources expenditure. According to the Globocan, World Health Organization reported 9.6 million deaths and 18.1 million new cancer cases in 2018. In addition, cancer cachexia is a wasting syndrome that occurs in up to 80% of cancer patients. According to the article published by Department of Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Beijing, the prevalence of cachexia is 87% in pancreatic and gastric cancer patients; 61% in colon, lung, and prostate cancer patients; and ~40% in breast cancer, sarcoma, leukemia, and Hodgkin lymphoma patients. In addition, 20% of the total cancer-related deaths are due to cachexia. In cachexia, the nutrients in the body decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to provide external nutrients to continue the treatment for cancer and COPD. Doctors prefer enteral route to provide these required nutrients to the patient. Therefore, growing prevalence of cachexia due to the rising incidence of various chronic diseases fuels the growth of the enteral medical nutrition market.
