The countermeasure for cancer cachexia related muscle wasting does not need to be muscle hyperplasia.

Acta Physiologica 2018 December 32
Loss of muscle fibers and nuclei in disuse induced muscle wasting has been recently doubted (Bruusgard and Gunderson) and brings into question whether cancer-induced muscle wasting involves the process of hyperplasia (Winje et al.). Cancer cachexia leads to muscle wasting, a multifactorial syndrome observed in more than 50% of oncological patients. The loss of muscle mass and function influences survival and quality of life. Therefore, the search of a countermeasure for the prevention of muscle wasting in cancer patients remains a major goal in cancer research. This article is protected by copyright.
