Weight Loss Clinical Trial
Official title:
Clinical Significance of Change in Body Weight During Treatment of Advanced Colorectal Cancer Patients - A Pilot Study
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a significant and growing health burden in Hong Kong. According to data from Hong Kong Cancer Registry, CRC ranked the first in incidence and the second in mortality, with around 5,000 new cases diagnosed and more than 2,000 cancer-related mortality in 2014. The investigators aim to evaluate the association between serial weight change during first line treatment and outcomes in patients with metastatic CRC.
Studies have suggested that exposure to a greater number of chemotherapeutic agents is
associated with better survival in metastatic colorectal cancer.
Multiple factors might affect body weight during treatment. Cancer-related symptoms can
impair quality of life and appetite. Cachexia syndrome affects around 50% of colon cancer
patients and is characterized by cancer-induced catabolism with involuntary weight loss (fat
and muscle), patients have increased lipolysis and change in skeletal muscle metabolism,
including increased energy expenditure at rest and protein degradation, and decreased protein
synthesis. Besides these disease factors, treatment related side effects are common causes of
weight loss, such as inability to ingest or digest food effectively due to nausea, vomiting,
and malaise. Based on these factors and the hypotheses between tumour control and weight
gain, monitoring the serial weight change can have practical value.
