Anamorelin (ANA) is approved for treating cancer cachexia (CCX) in Japan. We report the case of a 69-year-old man with stage IVB squamous cell lung cancer complicated by CCX, having a 13.6% weight loss in 6 months. After chemotherapy was initiated, his weight was further reduced. Therefore, we started ANA combined with a treatment approach by a multidisciplinary collaboration, including nutritionists and physical therapists. After initiation of ANA, the body weight, appetite, psoas muscle index, and physical functions rapidly improved during chemotherapy. ANA administration combined with a multidisciplinary collaboration approach can be an effective supportive therapy against CCX during chemotherapy.
阿那莫林(ANA)在日本被批准用于治疗癌症恶病质(CCX)。我们报告了一例69岁IVB期肺鳞状细胞癌合并CCX的男性患者,其体重在6个月内下降了13.6%。开始化疗后,他的体重进一步减轻。因此,我们开始使用ANA,并联合包括营养师和物理治疗师在内的多学科协作治疗方法。开始使用ANA后,患者在化疗期间的体重、食欲、腰大肌指数和身体功能迅速改善。ANA给药联合多学科协作方法可成为化疗期间对抗CCX的有效支持疗法。
