Gut microbiota-driven metabolic alterations reveal the distinct pathogenicity of chemotherapy-induced cachexia in gastric cancer - PubMed
Cachexia affects approximately 50-80% of advanced cancer patients, particularly those with gastric cancer (GC). Therefore, early detection of cachexia is essential to prevent its progression. Targeting the gut microbiota may be a promising approach for preventing and treating cachexia in patients wi …
