Edited by experts in the field, with contributions from a multidisciplinary panel, Pharmacotherapy of Cachexia is the first book devoted solely to the treatment of cachexia with a focus on pharmacotherapeutic aspects. It discusses the various aspects of the syndrome and compares and contrasts its diverse treatment options. The book then explores the topic from a theoretical and practical perspective and provides an overview of currently available and future treatment. Addressing the multiple disease processes associated with cachexia in an organized and useful way, the book is a comprehensive reference for the management of this recalcitrant and hard-to-treat syndrome.
