How exercise can help with fatigue and cachexia [xBYyvTlTM]

Dr Karen Mustian of the University of Rochester Medical Center, Rochester, New York, NY gives an overview of cachexia, which is a condition where patients lose over 10% of their muscle mass and/or fat mass, and is associated with functional declines. It puts a patient at high risk for dose reductions, and is a real problem given that it also puts the patient on poor prognosis. It is also very closely associated with fatigue. Recently, there have been studies that suggest that there is a clear role for the use of exercise to treat fatigue and cachexia. It is therefore essential to realize that it is not enough to give patients an agent to stabilize their body mass. Functional impairment and fatigue is still present after treating patients with such agents. In the future, pharmaceutical agents and exercise interventions might be able to stabilize body mass (both lean and fat mass), prevent weight loss, maintain the physical function, and in turn, reduce fatigue.
