Cachexia may well represent the flip side of the tremendous achievements of modern medicine. The aim of this volume, written by world-renowned scientists, is to provide the best available evidence on the pathogenesis, clinical features and therapeutic approach of cachexia, and to facilitate the understanding of the complex yet unequivocal clinical role of this syndrome, that truly represents a disease, or, more likely, a disease within other different diseases.
Professor Mantovani is Full Professor of Medical Oncology and Chief of the Division and Laboratory of Medical Oncology at University of Cagliari, School of Medicine, Cagliari, Italy. His research interests include treatment of cancer-related anorexia/cachexia and oxidative stress, combined-modality therapy of human cancers and cancer immunotherapy.
