Abstract
Cancer cachexia is a syndrome characterized by a marked weight loss, anorexia and asthenia and anemia, accounting for at least 20% of deaths in neoplastic patients (Muscaritoli, 2006). The term (cachexia) is used in the literature with different definition and descriptions of clinical symptoms of a patient ,it has been shown that a loss of weight exceeding 10% of the stable pre illness weight is correlated to a worse prognosis (Bachmann , 2008).
