Summary: This study aimed to clarify the diagnostic and prognostic value of serum Cytokeratin-19 fragments (CYFRA 21-1) in colorectal cancer (CRC). The results showed that CYFRA 21-1 can better differentiate colorectal liver metastases (CRLM) patients from the whole CRC patients and has unique prognostic value for CRLM patients.

Summary: Cancer cachexia is a clinical need that affects more than 50% of cancer patients. This systematic review examines the relationship between cytokines and cachexia syndrome in patients with incurable cancer. The findings suggest that cytokines, particularly IL-6, TNF-α, and IL-8, are associated with the development of cachexia.

Summary: The study introduces a novel electron donor controlled-release system based on liposome encapsulated L-cysteine for sensitive detection of CYFRA 21-1. By combining photoactive materials with an electron donor controlled-release system, the study achieved a highly sensitive PEC analysis of CYFRA 21-1.

Summary: This study examined the epidemiology, risk factors, and impact of cancer cachexia on chemotherapy response rate and prognosis in lung cancer patients. Cancer cachexia significantly affects a patient's quality of life and prognosis. Understanding these factors related to cancer cachexia is crucial for overcoming it in lung cancer patients.

Summary: The study found that more than 10% weight loss during COVID-19 infection treatment was significantly associated with decreased eating function and transitioning to parenteral feeding. However, chlorpromazine equivalents, comorbidities, and hospitalization days showed no significant associations with decreased eating function.

Summary: A sensitive and reliable immunosensor was developed for the detection of CYFRA 21-1, a lung carcinoma biomarker. The immunosensor was made with a carbon black C45/polythiophene polymer-containing amino terminal groups (C45-PTNH2) conductive nanocomposite, providing an excellent electrode surface. The immunosensor exhibited a wide linear range, low limit of detection, and good performance in serum samples.

Summary: A novel electrochemical immunosensor was developed for the sensitive detection of the important biomarker CYFRA 21-1 in non-small cell lung cancer. The sensor utilized a ring-opening polymerization (ROP) signal amplification strategy to achieve high sensitivity and selectivity, showing a bright correlation in clinical serum samples. This method has great potential for ultrasensitive quantitation of biological molecules due to its ease of operation, environmental friendliness, and low cost.

Summary: Cancer cachexia is a complex syndrome involving functional impairment and body composition changes that cannot be reversed by nutritional support. It decreases skeletal muscle mass, increases lipolysis, and reduces food intake. As no effective interventions are currently available, it remains an unmet need in cancer treatment. However, recent discoveries and treatments, along with published guidelines, provide hope for developing effective strategies to diagnose and treat cancer cachexia, which could lead to breakthroughs in cancer treatment.

Summary: This study aimed to identify specific miRNAs related to organ-specific cancer cachexia (CCx) and explore their functional role in humans. The findings showed that miR-122-5p, miR-27b-3p, miR-375, and miR-424-5p were associated with CCx and may contribute to tissue wasting and skeletal muscle atrophy through the regulation of catabolic signals.

Summary: Patients with COVID-19 are prone to significant weight loss and clinical cachexia. Around 37% of patients experience weight loss of ≥5%, with factors such as elevated C-reactive protein levels, impaired renal function, and longer disease duration being associated with weight loss. Assessing weight loss is crucial in evaluating cachexia in COVID-19, and treatment should focus on nutritional support and rehabilitative exercise.
