Cachexia is associated with elevated levels of cytokines in cancer and human immunodeficiency virus patients. Studies in cancer and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome patients showed that treatment with megestrol acetate (MA) is associated with improvement in appetite and weight gain. Reduction in the levels of cytokines is associated with weight gain in laboratory animals with cancer. This study evaluates the correlation between changes in cytokine (or their receptor) levels and weight following MA treatment in geriatric weight-loss patients.
